hmm it seems a bit annoying that a computer can bid.. i see the logic and also see how it is really annoying.. but at the same time would this methord of worked if a high enough maxinum bid had been place. because kinda the same thing happens for example: you find an item its £10... now you hold on because 1 person has bid... u wait until last few mins then you place a bid.... bang uv bin outbid.. you place anougher...bang you've bin outbid again and this goes on up to £20 and now the product ends but no mater what you bid you lost... why because the other person set a higher maxinum bid for the ebay computers to add on than what you were biding... this bidding for that person is done by ebays own computers... which i.e means they cant take an enemy stance at this because ater you bid you set your max price and ebay computer bids for you in seconds much the same as that snip website except the snip website waits till the last moment instead of early... its annoying but one of them things that is covered by the rules

I think it should be like a real auction tho.. no max bid or anything and starts at a certain time and lasts till bidding stops
