Ebay are running a promototion at the moment. http://pages.ebay.com.au/bargainhunt/

And they say “Keep a watchful eye on items you’re interested in. Pounce on your prey when it’s least expected. ”

To me it sound like they are saying – snipe at the last second when no on is expecting it. Well that’s certainly

Please indicate where in the ebay TOS such a thing exists as the below is taken from ebay as of today……

Last-minute bidding

Placing a high bid in the closing seconds of an auction-style listing is called “sniping” within the eBay Community. Sniping is part of the eBay experience and all bids placed before a listing ends are valid – even if they’re placed one second before the listing ends.

To help avoid disappointment, ensure that the maximum bid you enter on the item page is the highest price that you’re willing to pay. The eBay bidding system automatically increases your bid up to the maximum price you specify, so entering a higher maximum may help prevent you from being outbid in the closing seconds of a listing.

Seeing that you have used an older page that will be updated soon with the new TOS, maybe you should look here and they will tell you that themselves. Or better yet, call the corporate office and ask them and their legal department and they will also tell you the same thing. Bidding is one thing, but to CONSTANTLY snipe is what gets you banned. If you read my reply you will see that is what I stated. if you do it once in a while they dont like it but wont say much, you do it every time and a ticked off bidder complains; and you are gone. Why do you think they changed the feedback so you cannot leave a bad one anymore? Too many were doing this when they didnt get what they wanted because they didnt read the item listing. Same thing here. One bad apple spoils the bunch.

Another is how very stupid bidders raise the price of the item dramatically within a very brief time window. eg: Up 50$ in 2mins. especially when there is more than 3days left.

Had a quick peek – looks like an offset patcher. This means it will probably be useless as soon as the new version comes out.

Could be wrong though – it has happened before

Yes this one is updated very regularly. I cracked it myself so I apply the same patch (byte search) to each release but I dunno about the crack with this one – is it a keygen or a byte patcher (as opposed to offset which is unlikely to work – but may for a while assuming tiny modifications)?

Anyone who downloaded it know?

Yes eBay will lose some customers like this, but they will have a lot less complaints set against them for people sniping auctions, which is already against the TOS that you agreed to when you signed up.
