Resolved: Changes to eBay pages

On Feb 24, 2004, eBay has made some changes to its page format. These changes may cause an incorrect display of snipe status -- "Snipe Error" -- while those bids were being properly executed. Also it may cause missing snipes to some users. We are working to correct the issue.

Update (21:30): Preliminary workaround has been applied. There should be no missing snipe. We will later apply the secondary patch on Wednesday morning (approx 00:30) and may require a reboot. We will post an update again when the process is done.

Update (00:27 2/25/2004): We have sucessfully updated and rebooted our server. The issue has been resolved.

Thank you.

Lead Time (Buffer Time) can be adjusted to 1 Second

We will TEMPORARY allow users (paid members) to adjust their lead time down to 1 second before auction ends. Please note that the possibility of missing snipe caused by network delayed or slowness is greater when the lead time is set below 5-6 seconds. We will evaluate the result and determine if this can be a permanent solution.

From what we have tested, snipes are being placed correctly but often times our redundant servers (backup) have a tendency of missing snipe when using any lead time below 3 seconds. Please use your caution when trying to adjust lead time below 5 second.

Thank you.
