    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

    Congrats mate, you've just made a new enemy! j/k

    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

    Exactly you pre-determine how much you want to pay. If you get outbid at any time, then obviously the new bidder was willing to pay more than you.

    Here is an example, I won this last night in the last 10 seconds, before I bid it was at 46 so the bidder must have set his maximum to probably 66.99

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....#ht_664wt_1091

    So I dropped 101.11 in the last 10 seconds. Ofcourse that was a risk, if the bidder was willing to pay $100 then ouch. But he wasn't and I was confident enough that would raise their maximum bid..

    I had planned to win this because a day earlier I bought this to put in it

    Hopefully no one on here was the previous bidder
