JUST LIKE A REAL AUCTION.
Ebay is not
real auction. It is most similar to a silent auction and
the fixed deadline for the end of bidding changes the psychology.
Actually it is not most similar to a silent auction since everyone
sees each other's bids, even if only at the end after everyone has bid
at the last possible moment.
In a true silent auction, you never see other people's bids unless
they won the auction. Even then (like at GSA), you may not see who
won, just what the final winning bid was.
...and as has already been said multiple times on this thread, none of
this is new, this is the way ebay has always worked.
If you can't stand it so much, then stop calling other people assholes
or impugn their motives and just use something else besides ebay.
