God how can Sniper Sara B be so wrong?
I just made a post asking for just this functionality (sorry hadn't seen this thread).
It would be VERY easy to implement, maybe a few hours for any decent programmer. It need not be complicated and I don't see any reason why fees would have to be higher?
Sounds like a cop-out and bunch of lame excuses to me.
As for people talking about Google buying AuctionSniper, surely that would kill it right away. If sniping becomes mainstream then eBay would have to take measures to stop it otherwise the whole concept of eBay and auctions becomes pointless and they may as well just get rid of the auction side of things and make it a general online store.
Edit:
Actually, time to eat humble pie because after digging around it looks like the feature I asked for is supported by bid groups. I have been using AS for years, why wasn't I aware of this feature before! Like someone said earlier in this thread, advertise it to people!
I still don't see why logical operators like 'IF' and 'OR' couldn't be applied to bid groups. Seems simple enough.
