I've noticed they only ever do something if there is a bid on the itemOriginally Posted by Jetfire

Interesting theory, but most people bid in the last 5 minutes.. I know I do, bidding early only starts a game of hot potato

Yes I like to leave it as close as possible also but I've also been stumped by an unresponsive Ebay or Internet connection with no time to do anything about it, especially if a lot of people are trying to get through last second bids. If I really want it I'll play it a bit safer

I personally think that sniping is horrible...
It should be fair like here on trademe and the auctions should be auto-extended everytime someone bids giving everyone a chance to spend their top dollar on the item and also giving the buyer the highest possible dollar amount after the war has finished...
Sniping is like walking up to somebody and shooting them in the back as opposed to having a showdown and a face to face shootout

I actually dislike that eBay has now made the winning bidder anonymous.. I used to get great pleasure in people knowing that I outbid them at the last second... lol
One shot, one kill, win or lose... why waste multiple bullets when only one will suffice?
Not my fault that the person I outbid wasn't prepared to pay as much as I was, irrespective of when the bid is (was) placed!

I only say this as with my crap currency its cheaper for US bidders to place higher bids as their postage is much cheaper than us in nz having to pay for the item as well as postage on top.. I guess i just get stung too often on ebay ... Not trying to make enemy's at all
