Can you explain what you mean by "clear"? Please let me know step by step what you do, and what is the expected outcome, and what you get. I am not sure I understand what the problem is.

Another reason it might be used is if you have many auctions that finish in the same second, to avoid all the snipe bids being placed within the same second... Mario suspects that many bids at the same time from an Ebay account is one of the behaviours that can cause Ebay to take action against that account.
Having said that, if that is the reason for using it, the 2 second snipe would be the last one that I would recommend using, after all the other offsets.

It was added because users repeatedly asked for it.
I still think there is little reason to use it - any bid that arrives after 6 seconds before auction end was most likely pre-scheduled, and not a reaction to snipe before it.

Post subject: New 2 second sniping?
I apologize if this was discussed before. I just went to snipe an auction and saw a 2 second sniping option added. So I figure OK, I will set one at 3 seconds and the mirror at 2 seconds to catch it if the main one doesn't bid. I then got a message on top in red that this wasn't a good idea and not to use it. So, why was this added if I can't use it? Must be a purpose for adding it, no? Again, sorry if it was explained before. Thanks!
