				I was watching an item I was waitin to see if I would win. 
 
Then I noticed that GIXEN placed my bid way too early, your program is suppose to snipe that means placing a bid late enough to ensure no other bids get in, but GIXEN placed the bid with over 10 seconds to go, this ment I was out bid by someone else, this should not happen, the bid should be placed with only 2 seconds tog or less, not 10, 10 is enough that anyone has time to out bid on an auction.  This should be fixed. |

				| I find it hard to believe Gixen placed a bid early - but please post an item number here and I will investigate what happened. |

				I used the mirror service and still lost this one. My bids were entered a full 5 minutes prior to ending. Way too early. I was outbid by one dollar.

				I think you have your seconds and minutes confused... Your bids were place 5 seconds before the auction ended.
 
 
You were outbid by a bid that had already been placed, no sniper could have provided a better service than that. _________________ Mark |
