Reply to "eBay's Resonse to Sniping.....Is There a Contradistion Here!"

Jan,

I suggested they use a variable ending time for auctions when there are bids in the final minutes. I know some auction sites add 10 minutes when a bid comes near the end of an auction. It shouldn't be a contest to see who can place the last bid. In a true auction the sale is not final until the last bid is in. As a response they send me this form letter. I guess there's no hope for change. My point is that if eBay is pro sniping then why do they discourage sniping software.
