|

Hi
One of my auctions is showing a 'current high bid' on the desktop manager as the current 'correct' bid, but the online status shows the previous 'current high bid'. The bid placed on the auction was made some time ago, i.e. there has been plenty of time for the system to update. |

Desktop Manager should always show the correct current bid as it does price updates in real time from your desktop. If you log in via web browser, there may be a few hours lag, that's normal.
Provide me with the item id if you want me to investigate further. Note that none of this has any effect on sniping. |

Hi
No problem, now I know that I can rely on the DTM that's no problem.
Thank you.
I have on the advice of Cupid been brave and set both the regular server and the mirror server to 3 seconds. Then the big red warning come up!
Should I leave them both at 3 seconds? |

Both Mario and I don't recommend a 3 second offset, as previously discussed, but if that is when you really want your bid to be placed then leave them as they are.
It is only very marginally more likely for a snipe to be late at 3 seconds offset when you have the Mirror server also trying to place the bid for you. _________________ Mark |

Ok, thank you. I'll set them both at 6 secs. |
