Is justsnipe acting weird for anyone else?

I set all my snipes at 4 seconds. The past two days all my snipes have been going off at 10 seconds. When I look at my snipe page all the times are set at 4 seconds. I dont get it?

It already cost me a couple bucks because it gave someone else time to throw another bid in and raise my price image

Is this happening to anyone else?

    It worked ok for me an hour ago. I had it set for 5 seconds and it went with out a hitch.

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    That's hilarious, I never knew this program was out there. I would always sit there with a watch with a seconds hand and waited until there was 5 seconds left. Is "justsnipe" the only ebay snipe program out there?

    Search this Forum and there's 4 or 5 threads about the different services.

    Here's one

    Edited to add: My snipes are working fine, when they trigger, which hasn't been much as of late, darn it image

    Matt - how is that justsnipe allows you 4-second snipe? The lowest number available to me is 5. Give me the goods, man! image

    When I was using auctionstealer, they gave a 3-second option, but my experience there was more like the 10 seconds you just mentioned.

    The $5.00 per month service allows you to put snipes in as low as 1 second. Are you using the free service?

    Maybe the earth is out of orbit with this global warming.

    no, I'm paying the $5. I just rechecked a snipe I've got scheduled for Sunday, and the best it gave me was a 5-second lead. Lemme check my control panel.

    edit: image I assumed that the 5 second lead at the top was the best. I just scrolled down and saw the other options. I know I've cost myself some wins.

    image stupid!

    image stupid!

    ok, I feel better now

    I think you are looking at the very top of the "second" chart. If you look all the way to the bottom, it goes down to 1 second.

    Matt, thanks for letting me off easy. Can't believe I haven't seen that in the last year I've been with this service.

    Now that I know about the choices at the bottom, I'm kinda having trouble making the choice between 3 seconds and 1 minute 30 seconds. image

    I always do 4 seconds. They say anything less than 5, your taking a chance of it not working due to delays. 4 has always been good to me though image

    Same here. I don't see how it's possible for someone to see your bid and out trump it within 4 seconds.

    Regardles, if someone has a higher snipe, doesn't matter if you have it set for 1 second or 10, you gonna get beat.
