)'What eBay does not investigate
There are many things the Investigations department doesn't investigate, including simple misunderstandings, failure to communicate, and interpersonal disputes over which eBay has no control.
Here are some examples of what eBay doesn't investigate:
Bid Sniping (last minute bidding)(redundant
)We always recommend bidding the absolute maximum you are willing to pay for an item. eBay uses a proxy bidding system, so you may bid as high as you wish, but the current bid that is registered will only be a small increment above the next lowest bid. The remainder of your Maximum Bid is held, by the system, to be used in the event someone bids against you.' (clear?-maji)

'Preventing Unwelcome Buying (i.e. sniping? - maji)
In addition to reporting a user to eBay, there are several steps sellers can take to prevent unwelcome buying, including:
Placing the bidder on your blocked bidder list.
Canceling remaining bids.
Using the Pre-Approved Bidder feature for auction style, Buy It Now, Stores, and Fixed Price listings.
Using Immediate Payments on Buy It Now and Stores listings.'
ok, later.
happy sniping
