I was getting shilled, a lot. And when names were revealed I was getting searched, a lot. As a result I was losing cards, a lot. I started sniping and have had much better luck. Plus I definitely feel it is shill protection. And I agree it keeps me from having to sit around waiting for an auction end and allows me to change my mind multiple times on an item.

The only downside to sniping is that as a seller if I see no bids I might panic. But if I see lots of watchers, I know the snipes are coming later. I will often make an off-Ebay offer for something I really want just to let the seller know that I am interested and not to panic sell to someone else.
