The focus on sniping is missing a basic point, most
people shop eBay "when
they are ready to buy" and don't even look at auctions more than a few
hours away. This is why the buy it now is so effective, as it puts your
item into play immediately.
Am I missing something? I thought if the item's last bid
was $2, and I proxy-bid and say my max is $10, then I'm safe
until $10 and if someone else bids $6, I get it for $6 plus
the bid auto-increment, right?
