When I look at the details, my problem is very similar to the problem reported a few days ago where jbidwatcher bids 2 minutes early. Seems the time synchronization didn’t work.

The strange thing is that I bid on another auction later in the day and for that the time synchronization was perfect.

I have the sniping set to 6 seconds.
The “won” auction which in fact I didn’t win was 180463804629.
Ebay reports my bid at 10:57:59 (bidder s**l) – auction ends at 10:59:00
Jbidwatcher reports my bid as follows:
