Worst advice possible.

Until ebay pulls their socks up and ban all those moronic and rule breaching bid sniper sites forget about that kind of 99p start no reserve horse feathers :)

All you get is people winning your stuff for less than the it's worth the effort of posting most of the time as nobody actually bids properly due to ebay slacking on disabling bid sniping. Yahoo auctions had a lovely 'floating' end time, bids in the last 5 minutes would extend the auction time by another 10 or 15...nice.


Sniping - The action of setting a Proxy bid in the last few seconds of an auction.

You are only pissed because someone comes a long in the last few seconds and bids HIGHER than you.  Dont want to lose, Bid higher.

If Yahoo was better because another bid extended the auction, then by all means go and use Yahoo Auctions.

I love it.  If you don't want to get sniped, then bid the max you're willing to pay.


Indeed, people dont seem to understand the concept that Sniping is merely a PROXY bid in the last few seconds.

Person with the HIGHEST PROXY, wins.
