Snipe was too early!!!

B berlinerMember
Like many of you, I use AS to win an auction that ends when I'm not in front of my computer.

The last time I used AS was today. This time AS didn't place my snipe 10 seconds before the auction ends but 52 minutes before the auction has ended. I'm really wondering why and I don't understand it. Perhaps you guys can help me.

Thanks in advance

From eBay's system announcements:

***Scheduled Maintenance for This Week***
Date: 05/11/05 Time: 01:34:37 PM PDT


The eBay system will be undergoing general maintenance from approximately 23:00 PDT on Thursday, May 12th to 01:00 PDT on Friday, May 13th. During this maintenance period, certain eBay site features may be intermittently unavailable or slow.

Read it at http://www2.ebay.com/aw/announce.shtml

Because eBay goes down intermittently during the scheduled maintenance period, AS must place the snipes just before the scheduled maintenance period. This is the only time of the week when this is done.
