Reply to "AS linking for sellers"

Only a tiny %age use AS - apparently most people who snipe do so manually.

It already sucks that people wait til the last day to bid.

- I guess this means that you don't like the way AS works? At the end of the auction, it's the higher bidder who wins, whether s/he bids at the beginning or the end. You're obviously missing the cut and thrust of a traditional Auction which isn't what Ebay is 'about'. Sniping is a method that only works on Auctions with a fixed end time - it won't work with your traditional Auction.

You're right - a seller may get a higher price if sniping doesn't take place but it's a 'feature' of this sort of auction, it's legal and it cannot be prevented unless the auction close is extended.

BTW - I just tried to buy two DVDs using ordinary bidding - I lost both. I won't be doing that again!
