Sniping does NOT raise eBay's final value fee profits -- that's why AS exists, to benefit *bidders*, rather than sellers, by winning with *lower* bids! (hence also lower commissions for eBay).
I love it when snipers come along and bump up my auction in the last few seconds. I look at my ebay and see that some items are doing well, then when I get the *end of auction* email - I am pleasantly surprised as my final price has jumped up.
