Sniping

[vintagetoys2u]

I've lost out so many times to Snipers, when buying.

Consequently, on my own listing, I will not list any auction items.

Although this has probably cost me money, principle is more important.

Ebay should stop pandering to the Sniping community apologists, and ban this unfair practice, giving everyone a level playing field!

Don't be so silly. Sniping is bidding at the inthe last few seconds. It can be done using a sniping service or just a member waiting to bid as late as possible. You wouldn't know, a bid is a bid. However a bid is made it is the highest bid that wins, not the last. You have just not bid enough. Do you really want to lose money by having a silly attitude because you don't understand this.

As you well know , the latest software bids into the last second of any auction listing. Us humans are mere mortals, and it is impossible to match the speed of this unfair practice.

Sir; I rest my case.

Annoying I agree when one loses out when buying, but surely listing auction items for sale, should not be a worry, let the snipers try and outbid themselves, and the may the best man win!
