If ebay bidders would only learn to bid what they are willing to pay for an item in their first bid ... lots of the second-guessing and snipe bidding would be eliminated.

If someone is willing to pay $100 for something ... perhaps that is what they should bid. Then when they get "out-sniped", or a "Buy It Now" situation arises as has been described in this thread, there would be no complaints because the bidder has already submitted his/her top bid.
