Sniper failed to bid on my behalf

What was your lead time?

standard 7 sec

As will have to answer this, but since it is primetime Sunday AND so close to the hour when it closed, maybe it couldn't get through in time for Ebay to accept it.

have another going off on item 3275897105 in 6 minutes, been in my snipes for a week

How long it has been there doesn't have anything to do with it..it is the lead time.8, 10 20 sec., whatever!

I normally use 8 seconds except on Sunday PM between 5 and 8:30 PST,and on the hour, half, or quarter..at those times I add 10 to 15 second to my snipe lead time.

sniped it the old fashioned way with 2 secs left and won the item, thanks for the advice, on Sundays I will increase the time of snipe it the way I do it best!! LOL

I checked and we did snipe that item. It's just that eBay didnt accept it on time. You can see this by clicking the "Confirmation" button next to your losing snipe.

5 seconds is usually enough for a snipe at that time. Sundays are nortorious for eBay repsonse times being erratic.

You can get a free snipe here:

We do this even when it was eBay running slowly that caused things to miss. You can get free snipes even if eBay goes down and is offline and it's clearly eBays fault too. Basically if a snipe misses you can get a free snipe with that link above.

Thank you

I want the item i set to bid on with a 12 second lead. not a snipe that you give 3 to for each new customer!
