In addition to the sacrilegious shipping charges and subpar customer service, now bidding is futile due to the infestation of auction snipers who have taken over the auctions.

I'm sure they don't care since they are getting their money regardless, but I'm done getting frustrated wasting my time pointlessly clicking the refresh button.
