Found answer in earlier post to similar question. Answer was: 5 minutes minimum prior to auction end. 5 minutes is "not really" a snipe bid. Should be more like 5 seconds!

Hello skbrown2,
There may be a misunderstanding there. The 5 minutes is the amount of time prior to an auction's end where you can no longer place, modify or cancel a snipe. Your snipes need to be set up and in our system at least 5 minutes before the end time of an auction.
As for the lead time, which is the time prior to the end of auction where our service places your bid for you, you can set that as low as two seconds. You can set this on a snipe by snipe basis as you set up snipes, or set your account preference for your default lead time to be anywhere from 2-120 seconds and your snipes will use that when you set them up. The default lead time for a new account is 3 seconds, so we place your bids on eBay 3 seconds prior to the scheduled end of auction time.
If you have any further questions about our service, your account or a snipe, please feel free to file a support case from under the Help tab of the site and our agents will be happy to assist you.
