I recently came across a seller in US - and for the life of me can't remember what I was looking for - so can't find them again.

But - not only that they didn't have a description in the listing - just stated to look at the pictures.

What they also stated is that they don't want buyers who "nibble bid" - I think that was the term.

Anyone with less than a $5 bid - their bid will be cancelled.

I happen to remark about that to a very good friend who lives in US - and she told me it's becoming very common request in the listings: 

Don't bid  tiny ammounts, they'll will be cancelled imediatelly -( as bidders like that go on everyone's nerves - not to mention that any auction would have to last 5 time as long to achieve any decent money!)

Did anyone notice the same happening here - especially those who are browsing through Ebay all the time.

I must admit the only thing I don't like are listings with 99c start - they should be abolished!

Never bid on them for the fear that I might be the only bidder! That would make me very uncomfortable.

I don't know how you could stop nibble bidding, here at least, but maybe it is different in the US eBay system.

Here if I bid say $50 on an item, it will only increase when a second bidder bids, in increments as set by eBay, until it reaches or surpasses my original bid.
