Help! My daughter has just lost her auction on e-bay, to a sniper, (for want of a better word1). He came in at the end, with only a few seconds to go, how are some people so quick... she will be in shortly, and she is not going to be a happy bunny, oh dear, she'll say I wasn't watching, and I was on here instead, not true, honest.

Hello Christine, If another `buyer` comes in at the last second, you can virtually guarantee, they have a program that bids for them, leaving you no time to re-bid. Can`t remember the name of the program, but they are freely available, and legal.
