I am not against sniping, if the person him/herself is doing the
sniping, but when you sit and refresh every 2 seconds and it's
still you, but then after the last two second refresh another
name comes up as the winner, that's got to be automated.
That's not fair at all. In fact, it IS against eBay policy 100%.
