If you go to the guy's main eBay page /ebayoyvey, you can read his list of the different types of "idiot bidders", which includes... well, just about everyone.
Some people find his site humorous, apparently. I just think it's sad.

Hi Everyone,
LOL! What a badly written complaint. He just rambles, uses grade-school name-calling bullying techniques. The rest of his site is pathetic...
Stalin's rules for listing on eBay- no pics of you, your dog, your cat; no automted listings (!); no adjectives ; no nothin'.
Last week my fiancee redirected the ebay link to Nordstroms because he was horrified to learn that I have been buying from 'ebay' and didn't I know what ebay is? Who sold on ebay and who bought on ebay..... (He has the same aversion to resale and thrift shops or ESTATE SALES. But I *adore* vintage clothing...) I'm sure that when he 'learned' about ebay he read web pages like this.... *sigh*
Well, once I explained the philosophy behind sniping, he bacame abit more amenable to 'that ebay stuff' & is satisfied 'I'm not addicted'! He reset the ebay address & I have been happily sniping away at my beautiful widgets.
I also want to comment on the purported 'loser, no friends, nothing else to do, moronic' sterotype of a sniper. Does the writer not know or even imagine that sniping can be automated? LOL!
I became a sniper because I analyzed the bidding process through and determined this bidding approach was most effective. I can't help being a nerd--I am a scientist.
Manual sniping limited the widgets I could acquire because I have a very, very busy life (work & fun). Thank the stars for AS! I have even "WON" my widgets while traveling or giving seminars or being interviewed, or WORKING, or seeing a movie or, my favorite, sleeping!! What a loser I am! LOL!
I think the overall impression I take from these types of pages is: THINK before you write! Research before you write! Imagine before you write! Maybe the way you 'see' it isn't complete. But alas, perhaps I ask WAY too much.
My 2 cents....

"As Don Henley said, "There are no hearses with luggage racks."
Which means, someday all the junk YOU have hoarded and sniped for, is going to go to SOMEBODY ELSE.
Yep, somebody ELSE is going to have it, and probably for a BARGAIN PRICE"
Has he never heard of inheritance?? Sure someone will get it! MY KIDS! (If I ever can find a girlfriend and make some kids.. you know, because I am a idiotic low-life moronic loser with nothing better to do than count down the.. wait a minute.. AS takes away that excuse.. damn..)

Gordo,
I must be missing something obvious, but are you talking about his About Me page? I can't find it.
Emma - If you make your way down one of the *Hello/Good Morning* threads in Ebay General, one of us will certainly help you put your cat in your signature

Oh, good, you are still here! How are you all this AM-PM?
LOL We have a few too many different threads going at the moment.
I'll meet you in the Ebay General Thread

Now, that is some very interesting reading, Jabber!
Thanks for the link.
Some really funny, sorry, interesting...yes all those things there, Rick!
You still there, Mrs. M?
Lol, unless there is a ghost writer here!
Well, tell me about your day. I hope I didn't get in the dog house with that numbers thing. I get carried away sometimes. I wonder if Lexie knows she made Prosniper?
With my atrocious spelling tonight, I need a ghost writer!
Yes, it is burried in one of the posts! She said "yaaaa", lol! Nooo you didn't get in trouble. Sometimes I don't explain myself as well as I should. I get in too big of a hurry or have too many distractions around me. It is good to clarify!
Well, I did decide to take a swim in the pool and was it COLD!! It was a very quick swim!!! 
Guess it is time to start the pool heater. Other than that, same ol, same ol. How about you?

I wonder, is he is a seller that wants to run the prices out of reason, or a buyer that has not yet learned to snipe properly?
Either way, that first site page is worthy of an Alfred Hitchcock script.

Pretty sad character at any rate.

If you think sniping at the last minute for yet ANOTHER piece of crap to add to the rest of the CRAP you collect is worth it, you are seriously tragic.
All my sniper friends, you are all entitled to
