eBay had a problem with one or more of its servers this evening.
The problems occured between 16:40 to 16:55 and then again from 17:20 to 18:00 PDT
When eBay fails we obviously cant place snipes, nor could anyone trying to bid on the site bid either.
We snipe from 3 locations on different internet backbones throughout california. Believe me we did all we could. That's like you and 3 friends all in different areas of california all with different routes to eBay not being able to get the snipe in. These failures are almost always eBays fault. It's a lose/lose situation for everyone. You, us, the seller of the item, and eBay since they get a lower commision.
Even though this was not caused by us we always offer free snipes when a snipe cant be executed. You may claim your free snipes here:

I am certain we have the best snipe service out there. We have the best service, best network connection, best redundant sniping system, and so
on. If a snipe can be placed, we're gonna get it in.
Thank you,
