Being outbid on eBay
There's nothing more frustrating then being outbid in the final 2 seconds on eBay. I don't even know how some of them do it. How do they know what my max bid is?! I was bidding on something today and had my max bid set over $40 where the bid was currently at. Lo-and-behold with 2 seconds left, somebody out bid me the minimum over what my max bid was. watched it the whole time and it never raised from the $157 it was at to the $201.01 that was my max bid. I'm pissed!

Phantom Black Metallic- 2004 GTO M6
And this is WHY I hit the "Buy it Now" auctions. I don't like bidding anymore.

they can set their ebay up to automatically bid for them....it'll bid until it's the highest bid up to their max.

Excellent Sniping Program
The ebay auto bid works OK, but it drives up the price because new bidders will keep adding $1 more until they are the top bidder.
My sniping program is set to drop my bid in 10 seconds before the end. Also prevents you from overbidding because you tell it what your maximum bid is and if the amount is already over that it does nothing.
That said, if I see a bidder with less than 10 feedback in the bidders list I basically count it as a loss.
New bidders will bid stupid prices for stuff. And then not pay the seller.

I feel like punching him right in his sniper face. I know where he'll be sitting at the Broncos game now that he did that. And I will be there

I never bid on anything I actually want on ebay until the last minute. If you bid several days in advance then you are just letting other potential buyers know that they need to get ready to be in a bid war with you.

I didn't bid until the last 2 minutes on these tickets. And I set my max failry high considering the selling price of tickets in similiar locations.

I was about to roid rage. I was watching it on my phone at the gym. I watched the final seconds tick away, refreshed after it said it had ended and I had lost. Came home and looked at the times, and he got his bid in with 2 seconds left. I was helpless to win it. I was so pissed trying to finish my work out.
