Is Ebay not working for anyone?

Because I'm trying to snipe an auction and the damn thing won't load....that bites...

I'm gonna be pretty damn pissed if that 40+ dollar retail item I coulda won for less than 15 is over and its all because my comp won't let Ebay load [img]mad.gif[/img]

Yeah, it started working for me too...was weird because that was the only site not loading up, and when you're sniping someone, Ebay is NOT a site you want lagging on you...

Needless to say, with only 5 minutes left, I raised the bid up to my maximum (keeping in mind I am like 100 bucks in the hole and need to pay for other auctions [img]wink.gif[/img] ) and still outbid so I'm leaving it alone...

Bidding with 5 mins left is not sniping, it's asking to be outbid, lol.

Snipe with 30 secs or less left if you want to win on Ebay.

I try to keep the sniping under 8 seconds myself [img]wink.gif[/img]

This was one of those times where I wasn't totally sure I'd wanna win it, you know? Like, it was a great deal, but it's not something I need now...and that 5 minutes was just to make sure I'd get outbid in case I don't need it...

Is there a word to describe that? lol
