(re: eBay frustration RESOLVED!)
Use Auctionsniper.com
Set your absolute highest price on the item and walk away.
5 seconds before the auction ends your bid is automatically placed from auctionsniper by proxy bid. So if your snipe is set to $30, but the next bid is $19 then you snipe the item at $19.
I never lose an auction due to no internet availability, or forgetting. 🙂
I have a million tricks that make my life automated.
Life is good!
