so, I can blame your service whenever I can't buy something via a bid at ebay for lower price

  If you lost by 6 seconds (our default buffer and so the most common)... yeah. Sorry about those vintage Hot Wheels

    Curious, why'd you pick 6 seconds? (As opposed to 4, 5, 7, 8, etc)

      U would have still questioned any other number :-)
      • tomcam 6y ago
        True but I have to admit it is the kind of question I would ask too.

      It was a combination of data and guesswork, but the main factor was that for years, peak bidding periods on Saturday and Sunday nights caused server delays of several minutes and we wanted to account for that.
