Oma, like Bill says, wait for the last minutes to bid. The best way is to refresh the page and time it to see how long it takes to reload. For example, if my pc takes 8 seconds to refresh that particular page, I will get my bid filled out and wait till there is eleven seconds left and then bid. That is called sniping and many people on Ebay are trying to get rules against it. The best way for them to discourage sniping would be to allow the top two bidders to make one final bid once the auction is over. Of course this should be up to the person holding the auction to decide. They can opt for this when they are listing their item. If not, then snipe away. This is just my opinion but it is fair and would work.
