Dear EBay and Community.
One of the things I think is poor sport is people who bid on an item in the last minute, especially in the last few seconds, which often prevents other people bidding again when the price goes up. It is the mentality of bid at the very last moment to secure the item before anyone gets a chance to bid again. Often people have had the winning bid for days, and are pipped at the post with someone who was always going to bid higher anyway, but just waited to the last minute to potentially outbid, and not giving any further opportunity for consideration to raise the bid. It is one of the travesties of eBay. Quite frankly, nobody should really need to wait to bid on an item in the last minute. Their mind should have definitely been made up on the item by that point. It's just a scam to bid and often outbid, just to secure the item, when indeed some others with a little consideration on the new price might indeed bid again. Please implement this policy eBay.
Nah, highest bid wins whether it's placed in the first minute or last 2 seconds.
