The appropriate way to bid in such an auction is to bid once with the maximum amount you would be willing to pay. That is how eBay recommends that people bid, and if everyone bid that way, sniping would be irrelevant. All sniping does is protect one's bid from being <span style="font-style: italic">unsealed</span> until it is too late for another bidder to react to it. As Mark mentioned, sniping is not in any way <span style="font-style: italic">anti-seller</span>, it simply prevents other bidders from reacting to your bid. It's the people who place lowball bids in the hope of winning cheaply that are <span style="font-style: italic">anti-seller</span> and vulnerable to being beaten by snipers.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Cupid</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sun Sep 14, 2008 7:23 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: simply great!</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>dude wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">This bring fairness back to buyers.

We should also consider that without good sellers eBay would not be worth considering at all by buyers. <br /> <br />When a sniper wins an auction the seller, more often, gains the advantage of a buyer that pays quickly and doesn't try to haggle the price down again because snipers have completed their research before deciding what to bid and are happy to pay the final auction price. All the seller has to do is keep their end of the bargain and they will also, more often, receive fair and positive feedback for the transaction.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>dude</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sun Sep 14, 2008 6:32 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: simply great!</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">fantastic! <br /> <br />This bring fairness back to buyers.
