I sell AND buy on stuff on ebay and I use a sniping tool all the time. If I want to "snipe" something, I'll go to Auctionstealer(dot)com and enter the info- it is free for up to 3 items a week, unlimited items if you pay for the service. They bid your maximum for you in the last few seconds, unless the item has already been bid over your limit. I prefer this tactic to bidding a large amount early and having other rival bidders come back, over and over for several days and "pick" at your bid, slowly driving it up and eventually out-bidding you.Hit them hard at the end and they'll never know what happened, and they wont have time to react.
As i said, I also sell on ebay and have no trouble with anyone using this method on my auctions. If someone swoops in at the end and gets the part, that means he was willing to bid more than anyone else- more $$ for me. Even if the guy currently holding the bid fends of a sniper or two and STILL gets it, the sniper drove up his final bid just over the sniper's bid and I get more $$, and the original bidder still gets the part at a price he was willing to pay- everybodys happy- except the sniper, who'll enter a higher bid next time- hopefully on MY stuff.
Sniping a bid is like hanging back at a real auction and letting everyone else duke it out, then jumping in at the last call and winning it just before the gavel falls- dont worry about someone elses tactics or lose sleep over it, If you think sniping is "unfair" just bid higher!
