They don't place and they just disappear. Just watched one before my eyes. It just sat pulsing in Current screen - I refreshed the screen and it disappeared. Isn't even in Completed as lost. Happened last night also. My bids were above what the ending bid was. Is there a connection issue with eBay right now?

Hello Nancy,
Thank you for your question about this snipe. A software update changed the time zone on the system your bids were placed from PST to GMT. We quickly addressed it, but a few bids were placed before we could refresh the times.
I hope this explanation hasn't deterred your confidence as it was a human oversight, not a system failure or reliability issue on the systems part. Your future bids will not be affected.
