The only way to win an auction, whether sniping or not, is to be the high bidder. So if there is something you want, bid the absolute highest you will go and leave it at that. WHEN you make the bid is not nearly as important as HOW MUCH you bid.
HTH!
HTH!
If you want the item, place the highest amount you will pay for it.
If someone is going to snipe, their bid will have to be higher than yours
or just stay on the item until the last possible moment and place your bid,, which I think
is about 3 seconds before the bidding ends

We had a few things go up after the auction ended because bids were fighting against each other in cyberspace. Proxy bid is the name for the bidding mentioned above. Bid the top price you will pay before auction end and eBay will bid for you in set amounts depending on different bid levels. Search proxy bid in the A-Z help section of eBay.
We had one bid stop around $900 at auction end, but went up for about a minute more and ended at $1326. No sniping program I know would have won that unless you did the same thing that Proxy people do, put in the highest bid.
