When Ebay is restricting these snipes from coming through, then we have items selling a lot cheaper than they normally would.
If Ebay is "crashing", or doing something that is limiting these last second bids from coming through, then that is very much a problem for sellers/consignors. These items are selling for only a fraction of their market value. No different than stealing.

I agree that crashing and software issues need to be addressed. If the software (as in this case) doesn't work then the seller is getting hosed and I have no qualms with the seller being ticked off.
Having said that, it seems many sellers lately generally complain about low selling prices which just seems like sour grapes.
