AS Reports for 2 items ending 2-15-04 at 18:45:00 PST stated in Status Summary "Not in time". Both snipes were set at least 10 minutes before auction closing times. Why weren't they placed?

Not in time = AS placed your bid, but was not received and processed by eBay in time.
Sunday evenings (especially ending on exact quarter hours) are very busy. For auctions ending like yours I suggest you increase your lead time to 20-30 seconds.
AS also attempts to automatically increase lead times during heavy traffic, but sometimes it's just not enough.

Hi. Welcome. What was that set time? 10 minutes or 10 Secornds. 10 minutes would be too long ahead. I think there is a limit of about 2 minutes ahead. And 10 seconds on a Sunday PM on the quarter hours is a wee bit too short. Good Luck.

Hi Shop,
I think they meant they entered snipe at 10 minutes till auction end, and didn't say what lead time they put in.
Yes 120 seconds is the max lead time.
