"why doesn't it update when you first go to the My Snipes page". If you had a lot of queued snipes, and AS had to search ebay to see the current price on each of those snipes every time you displayed your My Snipes page, you might start asking, "why DOES it update when you first go to the My Snipes page". And, PLEASE don't ask for this to be an additional option on My Account, considering that some members don't take the time to look at the current options to decide whether they should turn off InstaMail. If this was an option, we would end up adding posts to explain turning on or off this function. No gain. It would be buried in My Account. Although the font is small, it does say, 'Note: The current price of the items is updated when you hit the "Update Items Info" link.' on the My Snipes page. I think that's better than on My Account page.
