I was bidding on something, went down to the last few minutes, I was the highest bidder then with literally 1 second to go the bids jump to just over my highest, so unless this "person" ( I don't consider them people) has impeccable timing, I call bulls**t.
When ever I bid on stuff as soon as someone goes over my highest bid I get a notice, this never happened, so the only conclusion is them sniping, and any responses I see saying otherwise will be ignored.
So ebay, why do you let scum like this use your service, they should be banned for life for being scummy little a**holes who can't be content with being like the rest of us and instead make me and others want to do bodily harm to them.
So fix this, it isn't fair on people, I know you don't care, you get your money either way, but come one, you letting "people" do this is why so many people are leaving ebay, or not using the bidding system.

As already stated by others, you can’t.
. . . . . . with literally 1 second to go the bids jump to just over my highest, so unless this "person" ( I don't consider them people) has impeccable timing, I call bulls**t.
I have successfully done a manual snipe bid with just one second remaining . . . . . . so I thank you for your compliment that I have impeccable timing. I don’t, however, think that you labelling me a non-person is very nice . . . . you don’t even know me!

Seriously!!!!!! What would you do if you did get a notice with less than one second remaining? (hint: time travel is not an acceptable option)
and any responses I see saying otherwise will be ignored.
So you are only interested in hearing from members who agree with you? Good luck with that.
. . . . scum like this . . . . being scummy little a**holes
Oh dear, do you kiss your loved ones with this same potty mouth?
. . . . with being like the rest of us
you mean there are others like you?
. . . . . make me and others want to do bodily harm to them.
Please seek help, immediately. I mean, if not bidding the maximum amount you can spend, or being outbid by another member who can bid more than you causes you to have feelings of wanting to do bodily harm to them then you are in real need of professional help.
So fix this, it isn't fair on people
Snipe bidders have the same amount of time to bid as you. The end times for auctions are known to all. How is this not fair?
If your gripe is that you did not have time to bid again then you are not bidding the maximum amount you are prepared to spend, and anyone who is prepared to bid higher than you, with or without sniping, will beat you every time.
If you get beaten by 50 cents there is no guarantee that if you were given the time to bid $1 higher that you would win as that member that outbids you may have bid $50 more than you.
You are hurting because you really wanted an item and were outbid in the final second. Use this as a learning experience and ensure that you bid your maximum every time you see an item you really want. That way, if you are outbid either manually or by snipe bid then it just means there is some other member/person (yes, they are people) who has more money to spend than you.
