Make up your own better auction site or go elsewhere if you don't like how eBay does it.

Huh yourself!

My point was that eBay doesn't operate as a real proxy bid auction. They have this goofy hybrid deal where you bid by proxy, but see the results in real time as if it were a live auction, which leads to the sniping crap that pisses people off.
As far as going elsewhere... I do. I've never purchased something off eBay that wasn't "buy it now" (and even then I've only purchased two things in the 5 or 6 years I've had an eBay account).
