As would starting at $100, or $1000, or $1000000 with no reserve. A no reserve auction is just that, an auction with no reserve. The starting price is not a reserve.
No, it doesn't, but once again, what you describe is not a reserve in eBay or other auction terminology.
If your bid was higher than the sniper's, you would have won the auction...and that is a fact. Bid what you are willing to spend or don't bid. It's your option to use a sniping program or not to do it.
Basically, it would look like closed bid auction where everyone puts in their bids and the highest one gets it. The reason Ebay doesn't use that method is that prices will end up being lower. Back when I used to buy and sell cars in college, that is the way the auctions were that I used.What will ebay be like when everyone is using a snipe tool?
Yup. In fact, bidding in the last few seconds is sniping, with or without a tool to automate it.
Whether others chose to use a sniper or not doesn't matter. What did matter is nobody else bid more, with or without sniping.Only way that can be true is because no one using an auction sniper wants anything you've ever bid on!
Not much different than it is now.Title of this thread needs to be changed to "Ebay Tutorial".

The final price on a significant number of auctions rises quite a bit in the final few seconds.
