SNIPE LEAD TIMES????

Hi, Rickdogg. I think I recall a post from Sarah B. to the effect that AS adjusts the preset snipe time when it senses that eBay's processing time is slowing down. I've had a couple of snipes entered early, too, but it hasn't kept me from winning the bids. It's my opinion that any bid under 15 seconds is counterbid-proof in 99 percent of all auctions.

Yep the reason is that we track how long it is taking eBay to process the snipes that we send just before your snipe and adjust your lead time to ensure your snipe is on time.

So the snipes before yours were taking 4 seconds longer than normal. But then by the time we placed yours eBay had sped back up to normal speed and so yours ended up 4 seconds early. Had they remained slow it would have landed at eactly 5 seconds rather than the risky 1 second. Which is why we do it like that.

Thank you

WOW! A.S. is really efficient. They look at ebay traffic and everything, man that's great! Thanks again for everything A.S.

AS IS amazing!

I recently noticed the same thing--a snipe that hit a few seconds earlier than I had set it for--and I was wondering what the deal was. Now I know!
