Sigh.
I hate it.
Sniped just seconds before the end.
They should realy change their policy about
ending time - these (automatic) snipers are
realy not the way it should be.
All I can say is...
Hard cheese!
Snipers, shills, and all of the other nasty things, some legally shakey,
have been around since auctions were invented. Ebay is no different. At
least there is no annoying auctioneer (actually an American thing - the
European auctioneers do not talk at several hundered words per minute).
I have been in the same situation quite a few times with Ebay, and now I
must just live with bidding ONCE, and if I am outbid, then I do not win.
None of this high-stress, keep-hitting-the-reload-button, waiting for me.
