Yep, agree wholeheartedly.
Let's face it... baseball cards are a fairly small niche market for
eBay, both in terms of revenue and number of items. Snipes don't
even play a factor in over 80% of eBay's "auctions", and that's
just how eBay wants it. They've pissed off enough power sellers
over the years with increased fees, not to mention their abolition
of sellers being able to leave negative feedback. Plus, you've got
more competition for eBay these days, especially with the emergence
of Craigslist in the mid-2000's.
Sniping has played a minor role in the demise of the regular auction,
and the demise of eBay in general.
