I've come across sellers ending early too on items that I've been watching, but I've gotten clever. Now if something that I want ends in say 6 days and starts at like 10.00 and I know it'll go much higher than that, I put in a bid of like 10.50 and wait to be outbid (which I usually am) and then put in my snipe.

Once there is a bid, they cannot cancel their listing....

I think this is becoming a common practice as well as sellers ending auctions early just because they don't think it's high enough. Kind of crazy actually since most bidders (not only snipers) wait until the last few hours to bid anyway!....

Oh well, live and learn. The best thing about ebay is if you lose one there will always be another!
