Currently I set my lead time at 11 seconds, but my recent successful bids have been accepted by Ebay 12-16 seconds before auction end. I guess therefore that auctionsniper places the bids at a time it estimates will get the bids accepted by Ebay at the lead time, then adds on a few seconds safety margin. Is that right?
I suppose that means that, if I set a lead time of 15 seconds and really need it, the bid is quite likely to be accepted 25 seconds before auction end. I am sorry this is rather complicated, but I am wondering about the trade off between making sure my bid is made and avoiding reaction bids. I bid for items against a lot of rather competitive manual late bidders
