Shift in the auction end countdown
Summary: bryop ran into a problem during an online auction, where the countdown stopped even though there was still time left on the clock. lingma85 suggests refreshing the page more often and placing the bid a little before the end to avoid this kind of problem. They also mention the possible use of sniper software, while acknowledging that it can fail too.
Hello,
I just missed a purchase. I was on the page confirming the bid to validate it at the last moment. But the auction stopped when there was still 1 minute 30 left on the countdown. How is it possible for the countdown to be different depending on the pages open for the same product.
I see in the exchanges that the bug has already been mentioned in the past. Can we know the reason?
Thanks
Best regards

While you were taking time to confirm... the bidding time ended...
You need to refresh...
You have to act differently..
- instead of waiting until the very, very last moment, enter your maximum bid a little before the crucial time..
That'll be safer.. or use a sniper (who can also miss the mark..)
