Clarification:
I am placing snipe time as 15000 seconds snipe time as a test.
When the total time remaining was 15600 seconds total remaining.
I have tried many combinations of times remaining but does place bids.
The sniper works fine. There are thousands of snipes are winning every day, no need to test it.
For example, you can check the Statistics page with some numbers: https://www.myibidder.com/login/statistics
If you just want to verify if your eBay login is in sync with the sniper, the simplest way to do is to try to access your Watch List. If the sniper reported some items in your list, that means your login is good.
Of course, you can also schedule a real snipe as another test.
