<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ranchhand, post: 166062, member: 2622&quot;]Sniping does not break any of ebay&#039;s rules.</p><p><br /></p><p>Because of the nature of ebay&#039;s bidding system you are almost required to snipe. </p><p><br /></p><p>In a live auction you have an auctioneer that says going once, twice, etc. and the bid is not done until the hammer comes down. before the hammer someone can step up and place a higher bid. Other bidders will have a chance to bid again.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ebay uses a timer system, the hammer is on a clock. once that clock runs out, the hammer is down and bidding is over :hammer: . because it is on this clock you are forced to do last second bidding, hence sniping.</p><p><br /></p><p>If ebay where to go to a live auction system they would have to hire a couple hundred thousand auctioneers to look over each and every auction, its just not feasible. Remember that ebay is not just coins, its everything under the sun, at any given second thousands of auctions are coming to an end.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have lost many bids to last second sniping, their is nothing wrong with it. If you do not like sniping then stop using ebay, or start sniping yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don;t hate the player, hate the game.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
