ebay rant (short)



I don't get this at all.

If I place a bid for up to the amount I am willing to pay, why does it
matter if someone else is willing to pay more than I am with three days
left, or two seconds? I've been outspent.

If I was willing to spend more I should have bid more in the first place.

Bid sniping is a silly illusion...

Cheers,
