Default Re: Auction Sniping Services

Swifty is spot on about one of the benefits of sniping is that it cuts out shill bidding but in that way it can also keep prices down which eBay hates...

Add to that that you don't get the 'I've been outbid so I MUST win' which over inflates prices (how many times have you see an auction end higher than those bidding could get that item on another listing for a buy it now?!?!)

AND that new ebayers must get demoralised when they get outbid at the last second (as I was so many time until I googled to find out why....) and you can see why eBay would not support the practice...
