Snipers,
shills, and all of the other nasty things, some legally shakey,
have been around since auctions were invented. Ebay is no different.
eBay is different - a real auctioneer always gives the same
amount of additional time after teh last Bid - ePay just cuts.
I could imagine two possible ways - first add 1 hour after every
(successful) bid. Or, second just state the ending day and put
the ending time on a random moment.
I would prefere the last one, because it would reflect the
idea of proxy bidding - bid once and let the eBay do its job.
