It's not an error.
Besides placing late bids which is obviously the most critical feature of a sniping service retrieving prices of auctions is the most resource intensive feature of this site.
Many years ago it was attempted to do this is real time, let's just say it didn't work out well.
Subsequently, it was redesigned to perform the refresh of prices periodically and systematically in the background.
Since then there's been some rollback with features such as more frequent updates and 'Refresh' buttons.. but, to be honest, without a considerable increase in costs for users it's never going to be practical to provide a real time service for this, and even an on demand one has to be throttled because the demand can become too high if people keep repeatedly pushing those buttons.
La scelta di un snipe value you are comfortable with does take a bit of research and up to date prices on auctions that you're interested in can be a factor in that, however it shouldn't be the be all and end all... otherwise focusing just on that can actually result in paying too much for a specific item.
