I for one am fed up with trying to beat auto bidders.

Everytime i find what i need, which is rare parts for my gs500e motorcycle, which is an officail faired model (if you got the parts let me have them pleease!) I make my bid, usually within the last 5 minutes. but why?

the Max bid system is absolutely worthless, thanks to the wonder that is the auto bidder.

What disgusts me however, is if i want to send a message to an ebay member i have to go through the verification system to send the message, to make sure i am a logged in member, and not a hacker or automatic program.

HOWEVER, the bidding system does not require any verication. So hackers, auto bidders, anything can just bid without even browsing the page. This i find utterly disgusting. Ebay should have a verification page for bidding just like sending a message.

I for one am fed up of trying to beat the auto bidders who are coming in milliseconds after i make any bid. But i am not going to be applying the old phrase "you cant beat them join them"... they can stuff there auto bidder up there proverbial a**es.

if you agree say so, i think its about time ebay did something about this. Its making bidding here almost pointless.
