   I still, for the life of me, do not understand why eBay doesn't   
   implement the rule that the auction does not end for, say, 10 mins after   
   the last bid (after the closing time). This is done on other auction   
   sites and would completely eliminate sniping altogether - hence fairer   
   for buyers - and IMHO is also much fairer for the seller.
