Coming from an ebay buyer perspective I really think Ebay should consider eliminating the Proxy bidding during the last few min. of an auction. These days you cant win anything anymore without (manually or software wise) sniping an auction. Too many people wait for that window when they can put in a rediculous amount to try and win an item and then end up paying what you wanted to pay. Obviously, if they had the true intention of paying the price that gets entered in the last 6 seconds of an auction they wouldnt wait till the last min to do so. They know for a fact they wont pay it unless its a close auction. I think if you bid 100 dollars in the last min. of an auction and the second price is 50 you should pay 100 because thats what your saying the item is worth to you. Its almost like ebay should start having 1 day auctions because the majority of the bids take place on the last day anyway because people dont want to drive up the price of the item. I always wondered why they dont consider fixing this problem. I admit I snipe because if I really want somthing I have to. With all the snipe software and websites out its almost impossible not to, unless you plan on loosing your item. However, the whole thing would be alot more fair if it wasnt allowed to continue. Until then Ill keep plugging all my items into EZSnipe, and if I REALLY want somthing Ill just have to snipe manually during the last 30 sec like everbody else.
