Default 6 seconds seems to be the magic number
Posted By: Steve Dawson

The quickest I've ever been able to put in a bid is 9 seconds; i.e., if I hit refresh with 9 seconds left and see that I've been outbid, I was able to get in another bid right as the auction ended (0 seconds left).

I normally place my snipe at 5-7 seconds left in an auction. If another sniper outbids me after that, then it was a clean snipe on their part, and not a result of them seeing my bid and trying to outsnipe me.
