Is Auction Sniper's clock now synced to eBays finally?

What clock were you watching? If it's the one against the item on the My Snipes page then it's just a bit of code (written by a bored AS programmer one Sunday afternoon) that does not reflect the actual time of eBay or AS's servers. In fact, the code looks at your PC's clock...

AS's servers are kept accurate by atomic clocks apparently!

I'm not sure where the issue is, but first I lost a snipe during the Tues problem, and this morning I was reviewing my Active snipes to make sure everything was cool. Then I went to eBay to leave some feedback, and noticed that one of the auctions I wanted to snipe had ended last night. Well, AS is still sitting with my active snipe, and apparently is going to place it TONIGHT (one day late).

I clicked on the update prices button just to check to see if that updated the AS clock. Nope... nothing changed, so I guess AS is going to send my snipe tonight, more than 24 hours after I already lost the auction (and yes, the price in my snipe would have won if it had been issued on time).

That's two auctions I lost in two days. Is it time to look at one of the competing snipe engines?

Any chance you could post the number of the auction that ended last night?

Sure... 4069258764 eBay says ended 1/26 19:24:15 PST. I just checked AS (4:04 EST),and my Active snipes directory shows this snipe as Active, and scheduled to end around 9 hours from now.

I don't get it.....

You do know the auction ended early due to a BIN?

Nope. I completely spaced on seeing the BIN notification!! I'm just glad that it was me being stupid and not some problem with the clock sync.

This still raises a question though.... if the auction ended early (whether through BIN or the seller just ended early), why wouldn't AS pick that up when you click on the Update Prices link in AS?? It seems that when AS goes to check the price, that it would see that the auction already ended....
