Hello,
I am not sure I understand how the "bid time" works.

I see in you FAQ that you recommend 6-10 seconds yet I have read here on the forum some using 1-4 seconds.

Would I be assuming that the bid time is when the bid is placed? If that is true what about if someone bids higher with their snipe?

I understand the purpose of the "maximum bid" but not how it ties into the last seconds of the auction.

Sorry to be asking such a basic question here but I am very new to this.

Regards,
Steven

Yes, that's correct: if someone else bid higher, you will lose no matter how many seconds you used.

I usually don't recommend setting your snipe at less than 5-6 seconds in order to cover possible network lags and things like that.
