No, eBay does not, and if someone gets caught performing an action like

[begin snippet]
I reserve the right not to honor any bid made during the last 2
minutes of
one of my auctions. Also, I
maintain a list of everyone who has ever "bid sniped" me on any auction
that I was a bidder on, and I
reserve the right to not honor any bids on my auction items from
any bidder
on that list.

Does eBay allow this?
