I know this because its an excellent tactic but highly frustrating when it bites you back

I kind of thought about that but the problem is that the price doesent start moving untill the last 5 seconds. There is no way humanly possible to move from 15 dollars to 32 dollars in 5 seconds making small bids.

If you check the sniping link that is exactly what they recomend to start the sniping at .. 5 seconds before bid end.

Wonder what ebays policy is on this or if they even care.
