Does a sniping service do anything different that this? Just trying to understand the allure.
Or, if I don't want to bother being at my computer when the auction ends, I can just bid my maximum a few hours before the auction ends and then forget about it. Wait for an email from eBay.
Is there something else a sniping service does that I'm missing?

Shillers and Manipulators feast off non-snipers. Letting your bid sit out early is what they love. Seems clear to me that sniping is major time-savor and helps eliminate fraud. At the same time, snipe what you think is a fair price and nothing more. Stay within your budget and you'll never be a "victim".
