Sniping
Yeah, it pisses me off, too. But usually what happens is you place a last-minute bid and you lose because someone else actually bid higher some time ago. The only thing you can do is drop in your highest bid at the last minute. If you lose it's because someone was willing to go over your high bid. If you win, it will only be by a minimal amount over the next-highest bid. The system does not make you pay anymore than the minimum bid amount over the next lowest bid.
