Re: ebay .. outbid ... what the point ?
ALWAYS proxy bid the amount you would be happy to pay, and not just the amount required to currently hold a winning bid - you can raise your bid, even if you are currently holding the winning bid.

The anti-snipe measure that I recall at another one, was the option to automatically extend by 5 minutes on any activity - ok, a bidder that's WATCHING, could still snipe, but it would take the advantage away from robot autosniping - that is just unsporting!

I've sniped, and I probably never bid early unless probing to see if the reserve is within my limit.
