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!

No, you haven't. You've lost out to buyers who bid more than you. The winning bid is the higest, not the latest.
If you were willing to pay more, you should have bid more. EBay's automatic bidding system would then have carried on bidding for you, up to the very last second, until it reached your maximum. You would either have won the auction, or lost fairly to someone who was prepared to pay more. That's what auctions are about.
