How to prevent \"EBAY BID INCREMENT RULE NOT MET\"

[cam94z28]

I lose way too many auctions every day for the reason of "BID UNDER ASKING PRICE: EBAY BID INCREMENT RULE NOT MET". This means I bid just high enough to have technically won the auction, but not to have not met the minimum bid increment to have placed a bid.

I know I could just bid higher than the item is worth, but who wants to do that?
But to give an example, If I had bid $46.17 for an item, I would lose the item end in favor of the winning bidder at $46.00 because I didn't meet the minimum bid increment.

Is it possible that mirror users could have an option where gixen will increase the final bid by the minimum bid increment if it's within $x dollars of the final entered price?

I've seen this argument before on here and I understand it.

However, I remain unconvinced, because, for me, it just comes down to $46.17 not actually being the maximum amount that you are prepared to pay for the item.

It is my opinion that everyone should decide what is absolutely the maximum that they are willing to pay and enter that as their snipe amount.
