Comments on: Is Auction Sniping Worthwhile? http://www.auctioninsights.info/is-auction-sniping-worthwhile.html Unique Tips and Tools for eBay Auction Users Thu, 04 Mar 2010 10:46:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: James Tullos http://www.auctioninsights.info/is-auction-sniping-worthwhile.html/comment-page-1#comment-89429 James Tullos Tue, 26 Feb 2008 23:47:29 +0000 http://www.auctioninsights.info/is-auction-sniping-worthwhile.html#comment-89429 Hi, Sniping is a source of irritation for many sellers, myself included. The perception is, as your article suggests, that items sell at a lower price when snipped. eBay could eliminate sniping easily if they did what other auction sites do. If a bid is placed in the last 1 minute, for example, of the auction closing, 5 minutes are added to the auction. This would effectively eliminate sniping, and more importantly, raise the final sell price of the item. Both eBay and the seller win out. eBay gets a higher final value fee, and the seller receives a higher sale price.
