I use esnipe and you can set your snipe time buffer in your profile. Are you being outbid in the seconds between your snipe bid and auction close or is it before? Because I sometimes set an earlier 'warning' time, like 2 minutes out, so I can make sure my bid is still on target to win. Good luck!

No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
