<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 334864, member: 4626&quot;]I&#039;m having trouble understanding your logic here... it seems to me that you&#039;re complaining about people sniping you because they&#039;re trying to win auctions as cheaply as possible, but that you do the same thing by putting in a maximum bid of less than what the actual maximum amount of money you&#039;d be willing to pay is.&nbsp; So you&#039;re saying it&#039;s OK when you try to win an auction as cheaply as possible, but you don&#039;t like it when people do it to you?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll go ahead and admit, I snipe because if I put my bid in earlier, it just gives others time to up the bid and I either end up paying a little more or not win it at all.&nbsp; I&#039;ve had times where I trued to snipe and still didn&#039;t win because someone put in a bigger maximum than I was willing to snipe with.&nbsp; On the other side of it, I&#039;ve had people try to snipe me unsuccesfully because I had a bigger maximum than they tried to snipe with.</p><p><br /></p><p>The defense against sniping is just put in a bigger maximum.&nbsp; Figure out what the most you&#039;d be willing to pay for an item, and put in that bid.&nbsp; If the auction goes for more than that because someone was willing to pay more, why should you care?&nbsp; If you were willing to pay more than what it went for and you lost, you have only yourself to blame for not bidding more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again I&#039;d say if it still bothers you, there are other auction sites that don&#039;t do it this way, you can go to them, or go to live auctions, or to brick and mortar coin stores.&nbsp; Buy It Now is also an option.&nbsp; If you&#039;re really so against the way eBay does it, just vote with your wallet and go elsewhere.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
