HI, hope someone can help me out with this. I've set my snipe up with a price that I want to bid but when that price is outbid on ebay I'm not receiving any notices that I've lost my advantage with AS? Am I doing something wrong? If the system can notify my of an outbid status (and I have checked this option during setup) then what else do I have to do to get it to email me. Anyone, please let me know.

Hi Mushkego,
I am just going by what Sara has posted before on this topic and I hope she will stick her head in and clarify.

Apparently AS checks your snipe price v's current auction price periodically at first (when there is plenty of time left till the end of auction), then checks more frequently as the close of auction gets near.

If the above doesnt apply to your situation I havent been any help at all Confused but hopefully someone else will.

Hope to see you around the forum some more Smile

From AS' faq:
31. How come I’m outbid but my snipe doesn’t know it yet?

We check if you are outbid in certain waves. This is a HUGE bandwidth waster and costs us money, so we do it the most economical way we can:

If the item ends within 30 min, we may check 10 every min
If the item ends in an hour, we may check every 20 min
If the item ends in a day, we may check every 12 hours
If the item ends in 7 days, we may not check yet.
Please note that you can click on View Extended Info just above your snipes, and it will give you this information immediately, so you're only one click away from the info you want.
