[quote="Rickajho"]But but but...

ebay.com/help/buying/bidding/bid-sniping?id=4224

[quote][b]Bid sniping â including the use of software that places bids for you â is allowed on eBay, but it doesn't guarantee you'll win an auction. Other members may be using the same tactic, could have set up automatic bidding, or may simply react quickly and place a higher bid before the auction ends.[/b][/quote]

I don't mean to be rhetorical but how can a seller make an assertion like this when eBay has stated sniping is [u]not[/u] a policy violation? Since a seller can't actually tell if a sniping service was used this seems nuts for a seller to even "go there." Especially if the item is paid for before the seller decides they don't "like" the timing of your bid.

Seems it would drag down their seller rating if they keep canceling winning bids, buyers leave negative feedback - via web if they can or via phone support if they can't - and their feedback rating drops to whatever eBay considers unacceptable.

Besides, all a buyer would have to say is "no I didn't" if the seller asks if they used a sniping service. I'm not advocating dishonesty, but I can't abide stupid either.
