Re:A huge win for everyone, just one more thing... (Score 1)

Sniping works against inexperienced bidders, but not against experienced bidders. eBay already has a simple solution: proxy bidding. Bidders can enter their "willing" amount and hope for their "excited" amount. Since many bidders are inexperienced, sniping works sometimes, so go for it. I like sniping for another reason. I can schedule bids in groups and the first one that wins unschedules the rest of the bids in the group. Sniping is just a bidding strategy; there is no problem to fix. I use it sometimes; I also use regular bidding (I'm the highest bidder on a reserve-met motorcycle right now!), and buy now, and sniping. So now I'm bidding against some snipers - no worries because I use proxy bid to bid my highest price as eBay clearly recommends. Solved. Next problem.
