[quote="Cupid"]I disagree that 2 seconds would be better. It would increase the number of missed bids (due to network latency/slow eBay servers at peak times etc. etc. AND increase the number of bids that don't win due to the eBay increment rules... 6 seconds is (in my experience) not enough time for a manual sniper to react, any bids made in the last 6 seconds were coming anyway so reducing to 2 seconds would not improve things, as has been said many times before its not the last bid that wins its the highest acceptable bid before the auction ends. 'put Back the no of bids & the last bid' Is not clear enough (to me) what you mean... Are you suggesting a field that tells you how many snipes you have set up?.. and the end time of the last auction that you have a snipe set up for... These are my best guess.[/quote]
