Ebay needs a minimum period of time for bidders to respond to people that make bids in the last few moments of an auction!!! I am so tired of being a winning bidder, then to just lose the item to someone that bids last second and steals the item, without giving me a chance to respond. The auction should end after a set period of time after the last bid is received....past the end time of the auction, and bids have quit coming in. Once the bidding stops past the end time, then that would determine the winner. It would make more money for Ebay, and the seller, and also not upset people by losing items last minute to bottom feeders. Most other reputable auctions have minimum rules in place like this. You'd think Ebay would have also, being as big as they are. It's just frustrating to not get a product, that you would have paid more for, just because Ebay doesn't have a way to pay more and just give things to sneaky people. Ridiculous! Little things like this reminds me of why I've gotten away from using Ebay as much as I used to. Absolutely absurd......
