It is based on how many ads are in your queue, if no ads are in your queue it costs 2 credits to advertise and doubles for each ad in your queue, 1 ad in your queue then price is four, 2 ads and price costs 8, 3 ads and price cost 16, 4 ads and price costs 32….etc until the max of 4096 credits to advertise.

If you take the assumption that the average person approves the queue within 24 hours or so, then you can assume that 8 EC will always display around 2 days out, you must give a +-24 hour window, but again, if you purchase 10 ads at the same EC, then at any one time there is a 50% chance that some of them are overlapping.

I am not saying don’t purchase any ads for the same EC, I am only saying don’t purchase more than 3-4 in the same category at the same time. If you purchase them from different categories you tend to get wider range of visitors.

Purchasing several ads of the same price has little bearing on them running at the same time. You are assuming that everyone will accept the ad at the same time and they don’t. There can often be 2 or 3 days delay. In fact, often more but I usually cancel if the delay is too long.

Then you need to add in the changeover time variation. Not all ads run at the same time of day. One could start running at 00:02 on, say, 22 March, another at 23:58 on the same day. Not a lot of overlap there, and you cannot predict what it will be.
