A: Myibidder.com will switch automatically between DST/EST when required.
12. Q: How does it work with "Buy It Now" auctions?
A: If an auction has plain "Buy It Now" (BIN) without starting bid then there is no reason to snipe on it just because you could do BIN and get it without waiting.
If an auction has both starting price (bidding option) and BIN then you can not put your snipe the same as BIN amount or higher -- eBay will not allow you. So you have to either put your snipe lower than BIN or just do BIN if price is good for you.
13. Q: Why "current bid" is not current?
A: Current bid is for informational purposes only and does not affect your snipes in any way. Automatically the "Current bid" field is updated about 1-2 times per day only on low-priority basis (this way high-priority goes to your snipes) and at the end of the auction. Manually, you can do it by clicking "Refresh" button in the "Snipe" window or by adding the item id anew.
14. Q: My snipe was slightly higher, but I lost. Why?
