in ebay and I'm really pissed off. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I reckon it should be "fuzzy" time indications (like This auction ends tommorow, or this auction ends today). People should just put their max bid and that's that. |

would you like a hug or a roasted chicken? |

it happens loads - there was even a web based service that did it for you at the last second for a fee - it sucks arse when u think youve got a item for a good price |

ill sell you mine for $1.00 |

I don't think that'll work very well on something as international as the internet. anyway.. so you got sniped on eBay.. boohoo.. it's part of the deal. you know that when you bid on eBay. |

i hate those people that go in at the last minute or so and keep bidding up each increment until they finally get ahead of you and then they somehow time it so you can't come back and slap the extra dollar on. being sniped by a proxy doesn't bother me tho, you can tell cos they make one bid at 30 secs left and just beat the shit out of everyone else. one thing i bid on moved 175 dollars in the last 10 mins cos 3 of these guys were going for it at the same time, and in the end only one of them ended up ahead of me. that pissed me off. |

I wonder if snipers understand that when an auction ends, it simply stops taking more bids... ebay still ups the bids between the highest bidders once the auction is closed. Say "x" bids £22 max, and is winning at £11, 10 seconds before the auction closes and "y" snipes at £21. "X" will still win and it'll be £21.20... it's not like "y" will winit for £11.50 or anything. |

You seem to constantly defend ebay. Do you work for them/have a lot of shares in them or something? |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

I was not aware that I was constantly defending eBay? this has little to do with eBay anyway - this is about little shits sitting in front of their computer watching the clock, thereby turning half of the regular eBay users in the same little shits out of need. and I just think snipering has been talked about to DEATH - eBay will sure as hell never do anything about it (why should they - noone is NOT bidding because of it) and there will always be eBay-snipers. it may suck, but there you go. it's the risk you take when bidding on eBay. we'll just have to deal with that. |

ebay = gay if you squint your eyes you can see the "eb" turn into a "g" and thus making it "gay" Why would someone not bid a last minute bid and attempt to win ? Its just like the a "real world" auction, if you have tons of money, you get what you want im currently bidding on a 5' tall oreo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sucks mostly cos dialup sniping is too hard to do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
laugh out loud, i hear ya, im pretty much screwed if i want to bid on anything at home |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Only bid on crap that noone else wants. And hey, it's cheaper too! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exarctly.. I mean, that's mostly what I use eBay for these days. if I want a rare record, I first have a look on . some CRAAAZY prices on there, but also quite a lot of reasonable ones. |

Oh well I just wanted to groan a bit, ebay is as ebay does. nothing I can do but try harder. |
||||||||

If you bid the absolute maximum you're willing to pay, it shouldn't matter if you get sniped (because the price would be more than you're willing to pay). The fact that they bid at the last second has nothing to do with it, they still bid higher than you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the beanium boy's got a point right thurr. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what if you talk to the seller and tell them you got sniped? Maybe they'd understand and cut you a break. Isn't this deviant behavior? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why is it deviant behaviour? it's all within eBay rules. the sniper has the highest bid, so he wins. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

eBay sucks and blows like a cheap whore. It's good for getting shit but you've got to play the game. I learnt that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cause they are called snipers. That sounds scary. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought you liked 'em suckin' and blowin' like cheap whores.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you'd still be willing to pay 20 cents more |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but then your bid was not the absolute maximum. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I get more pissed off at people who start BIDDING LIKE CRAZY on an item that still has 6 days and 23 hours left. |
