Who is sick of them?

I for one am.

I mean in the last 3 seconds of an auction, you beat my price by 50c, my hidden price, that you can't actually see. Who invented this stupid idea anyway? Help my BF2s, how do I snipe back?

Auction sniper works well but there is a fee involved its very small though.  Good for when your're not at your pc.

There is also auction sniping software avaible but you have at your pc to ensure to snipe and no fees involved.

Just place a higher maximum than they do. Bid in the last 30 seconds.

And never bid before then. If you do, your only going to raise the price you'll eventually pay cause someone will raise it well before the auction ends.

err..they're willing to pay more than you for the item, nothing unfair or annoying about it.

Ebay isn't designed to give you and only you bargain prices. Put in your maximum bid and if you lose the auction blame your own cheapness.

The only way is to bid the total amount you're willing to pay at the beginning and let the system do the work.  If you get beaten, its because you're a cheap-o-bastardo.

I laugh when I out bid e-bayers in the last second.  It makes the process that much sweeter.  Some guy is sitting there smugly thinking victory is his in 5, no 3 seconds... then. BAM!  Nice try. Thanks for playing. HAHA.

this is what you should do.E.G. If you see an item and it starts at 0.99 bid straight away with the highest amount you are willing to pay for it. What people do i bid in 10 and 20 but just bidding your highest amount straight away gives you a little clearance. Lets say you bid 50.00 on something and the auction ends at 35.00, you will only pay 35.00 so my tip, straight away bid the maximum amount you are willing to pay.

idiots. 

the whole point of a max bid is just that- YOUR MAXIMUM PRICE!  you should be placing a maximum bid that reflects the most you are willing and able to pay for a specific good.  if you do this correctly, then getting "sniped" above your maximum shouldn't matter because you aren't willing to pay more than you already have.

you trolls and your impulse buying are the reason my auctions on ebay exceed retail price.

Yea... Sometimes I'll bid on stuff I have no intention of buying either.
