It pisses me off, and I imagine it pisses you off too.
So here I am bidding on a pretty worthless item, thinking I am going to win when in the last half second some lazy jerk of a bidder 'snipes' a bidding. It makes me wonder if I should even bother using 'ebay' again?
It happened to me so many times now that I feel 'ebay' should ban this system because after all it's not a fair win and really unfair to us bidders who want to win fairly against a human being. Also it does give 'ebay' as an online community a bad reputation for bidding on items.
I really hope that these so-called bidders end up with their accounts hijacked (after all they give their details to these sites to snipe), it would be a nice ending.
But I do have to thank 'ebay' for their wonderful 'buy it now' system, as I really don't know what I would do without it. So I guess 'ebay' are still slightly reputable in that case. It's just a shame some buyers and sellers are money grabbing monsters who'll do anything to get the item their bidding for or in the sellers case to bump the price up until they get a willing bidder to pay the price they want.

I just have to say this...
Why is it in the UK:
All we every seem to do is moan when it is too late.
And even if we did have the chance to stop it, we don't!
Yes dear bloggers, I am on about the recent bidding on the takeover of Cadbury's. The funny thing is as a country we have only just noticed that all the companies in the UK are disappearing and with it the jobs...
Considering one of the most significant UK owned and based companies to disappear was in 2005 (the car makers "MG Rover") as a country we weren't bothered, neither were we in 2008 when several unique stores in the UK disappeared for ever such as "Woolworths" and "Zavvi". (Although all of these brand names still exist they are owned by different benefactors).
It takes until 2010, two years after the start of the recession, to notice the lack of UK based companies of any kind. Somehow the fact that Cadbury's, a chocolate brand, will soon be owned by an American organisation, is making the people in the UK worry it's the end. Apparently, people in the UK detest American chocolate which is a little funny, when the same people are scoffing "Terry's chocolate oranges", "Mars", "Reece's pieces" and other American owned chocolate brands...
I have this feeling that as time goes on people are only going to get more silly. After all, in the UK we own no car brands, no computer brands, and hardly any electric brands. Yet we worry about chocolate which isn't really a necessity to us these days.
Soon it'll be time to turn off the light and leave the country, fleeing away with our foreign cars and computers. If I weren't a teenager I think I would have already left.

Please Note: I have only mentioned companies major significance, although other companies such as water and electricity utilities have been brought up by other companies.
