I tried Gavelsnipe for the first time yesterday. I used their default 20 second buffer, beat the current high bid, and then got re-sniped by the guy whose bid I beat. When manually sniping I do it with 5 seconds left. Gavelsnipe warns that they can't guarantee that snipes at less than 20 seconds will go through. How much of a danger is that? Doing it manually I've only had a handful not go through in 5 seconds, do the automatic snipes really take that much longer?
