BEST EBAY TOOL EVER!!!!!!
crtrrss:
Or start the bidding higher
MonMotha:
Yahoo Auctions Japan has a nice solution to "sniping". The auction doesn't end until at least about a minute or so after the last bid. That is, if somebody bids last second, the auction is extended for a another minute or so to let things settle down.
The result? A lot less sniping, and it's far less effective. I like it. If only I didn't have to use a deputy service to buy stuff of of it with outrageous fees...
crtrrss:
Penny auction sites use the same solution
Samstag:
I don't use ebay anymore but when I was buying I always used auction sentry to automatically place my bid a few seconds before the auction close. Most of the time I don't get the win, but it's a good way to avoid the emotional bidding wars. It has a feature to group auctions for the same type of item so you can have it keep sniping multiple auctions and stop when it wins one.
Combating snipers as a seller is easy. Start your item at $.01. That generates so much early interest that your stuff will more often than not sell for more than it's really worth.

Or you can sell your item for a penny. It's a dual-edged sword, so you'll need to acknowledge the risk.
