(re: re: eBay frustration RESOLVED!)
Personally speaking, I think eBay should ban automatic sniping… If you’re going to bid a max then put it in when you can – this you don’t need to snipe. However, we all know that most of the items we want, we *really* want and it’s like a child in a sweet shop (I want that one now!) and so people just push the auction price past your max. I’m sure that this is sometimes does just to see how much the max bid was. Bah, eBay – can’t live with or without it 🙂
