Do sellers or eBay object to last second bids?
No. In fact, sellers recognize that snipers are enthusiastic, knowledgeable buyers who commit to a maximum bid and use the proxy system. Buyers like to snipe because it gives them more control over the purchase and price. And eBay says, “It’s perfectly fine to snipe”, and, “Sniping is part of the eBay experience.” The only people who don’t like sniping are incremental bidders. And, sniper services help to level the playing field for bidders who want to snipe and have to go to work or get some sleep. We feel each bidder should be able to find the bidding style that works for them.
