Hi - I have always had my sniper set up for a lead time of 6 seconds. Usually my snipes were placed around 10 seconds - even though I had it set for a 6 second lead time. But over the past week - my snipes have been placed with about 30 seconds to go, even though I still have it set for a 6 second lead time.

I have now lost about 6 auctions due to this error. Please let me know what is going on!

Thank you

Thank you for getting back to me, but this has been happening for the past week.

In the type of auctions that I bid on every second counts. The last auction I bid on which was just a few hours ago - I set the lead time to 3 seconds, and AS placed my bid at 35 seconds allowing another bidder to out-bid me.

This has happened 3 times this morning - my lead times were set at 6 seconds for 2 auctions and 3 seconds for the 3rd. auction. All 3 times AS placed by bid at 30 to 35 seconds before allowing other bidders to come in and out-bid me in the last seconds. I lost all 3 auctions this morning. And 3 other auctions in the last week.

Why allow us to chose a lead time - if you will not comply with what we want? We do pay for our snipes that we win??

Please let me know if this problem is going to be resolved.

Thank you - Latin
Sorry, but I don't work for AS. Not privy to the inner workings. I'm just a user like yourself.

Yes, you only pay for snipes that you win.

Perhaps Sara (support person) will shed some light on the recent problem some seem to be having with early bids during what has always been considered low traffic times.
Hi - Thanks for replying. While I just signed up to the Sniper Forum today - I have been a sniper user for well over a year, so really I am not new to this at all!

This problem has just occurred recently - like I said before, even though I had lead times of 6 seconds the AS would go off with about 10 seconds - which was not that bad - but for the past week - it has really been screwing up!

Like you said, I do hope that Sniper Support does get back to me - or I will have to leave auction sniper and hook up with another sniper system.

Thanks for your input though - I really do appreciate it.

Latin
