OT: Tool for sniping over at ebay

[Randallw]

I don't use Ebay myself, although I used to sell stuff on it at work. There's a mechanism that can ignore any bids in the last 5 minutes. Though having said that it would seem to me that just puts the end of the auction forward 5 minutes.

As much as I would dearly love to get some things, such as an original copy of Reich Star, I am sadly too paranoid to ever trust some stranger with money. I once had a PayPal account I used to buy a book from an author once, but after that I was warned not to trust it and never renewed.

I just never trust an Amazon or E-Bay seller with less than a 95% rating or too few sales.

95% is 1 in 20 - a perfectly reasonable mistake rate. In another five percent you reach 1 in 10, which is too high.
