I know, dumb question but can someone please explain how this works? For example, what do the different time intervals refer to and how should I go about setting them up so that my bid hits at the latest moment? Any other details super appreciated. Thanks!!!

The offset is the amount of time in seconds before the auction end that the bid will be placed on Ebay. So the lower the number the closer to the end of the auction.

Note however that the bid increment rule always applies and so, particularly when you expect other snipers might be interested in the auction, it's not always the most successful strategy to be the last of the last. Personally, as a result, I prefer offsets that are higher than the default of 6 seconds.
