Ebay and Auction Sniping..

Jun 22, 2005 00:05

Having put some items up onto ebay, I was thinking about the sniping aspect to the auctions and how most people wait until the auction gets into the last minutes and then makes their bids and hopes that no one notices before the item ends. Having thought this was pretty unfair, I was thinking of a way to correct this problem. The only I thought of was that when a bid is made and the bid has less than say, 15 minutes remaining, a new bid resets the timer to 15 minutes and so on and so forth so that sniping is pretty difficult.

Of course I don't know if that would really annoy people or not on ebay. Probably would since they have their model all set up and changing it would annoy people. Just a thought to make things a little more fair for the seller and buyers who don't have the tools, time, talent to snipe an auction.
