peoples complain here about snipping.. they didn't change nothing..
You just fix your amount your ready to bid and bid it, if it's not enought to win well you just have to bid more!...
The only bad thing on ebay is bidding too early, like putting your max bid a few days before the end.., witch give peoples more time to think if they want to spend an extra 5$ to outbid you and change their anser from no to yes ..
I always manually bid in the last few minutes, and if I loose it's because someone else wanted it more than me.. or that I'mm too cheap
Have a great week-end and happy bidding
