I recently won a snipe on eBay (thanks AS!)
But I just received a disturbing email from the seller. The message was simply a confirmation that the item will ship soon, but what disturbed me was the subject that said:
Re: Auction Sniper Winning Bidder Info (eBay Item #............)
This means that AS actually sent an email to the seller and shows that we used a sniping service, and this seller was replying back ("Re:"). I'm not ashamed of using AS but I know that some sellers don't like their auctions to be sniped at. Can anybody confirm if this is true?
I personally think that how we win the auction is our business and don't like the idea that AS exposes our methods. BTW, I haven't emailed the seller at all, so it's not possible that the seller was replying to a message I sent (or forwarded).
