Ebay attempting to block snipping ?

It was reported to me that Ebay is trying to stop snipping by putting a public service annoucement ( product recalls ) between the confirm bid button and ebay computers accepting the actual bid which defeats the snipping in the last few seconds because you must click " continue " b4 the bid actually goes through. Any others see this ? ( I was give two examples just today )|||How exactly will this stop me from sniping? What you are saying won't stop me one bit.|||Why would ebay want to stop sniping? Sniping results in higher selling price, thus more ebay fees.|||The product recall message has been appearing in the toy categories for some time. It's not consistently shown, however. The message is not an attempt to stop sniping. It's a general attempt by eBay to make sure that consumers check for product recall information before bidding/buying., so that they don't purchase a recalled product. BTW, if you are interested in receiving information and updates as soon as a product is recalled, you sign up for email alerts from the Consumer Product Safety Commission: Link. You can limit the categories of products you get emails on, for example childrens products, so that you are not getting emails about car parts when you're interested in clothing. I would highly recommend that everyone sign up for this list, especially if you have children.friends Director,|||Thanks Billy. Wish it was possible to click all that I'm interested in on one sign up, but that's okay.|||Sniping does not win auctions, the highest price bid does. If you are worried over a pop up keeping you from placing the bid, then hit the confirm bid button with 30 seconds left. Time enough to pass the pop up page unless you have a slow connection.~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I did not sell you my opinion|||The popup telling me that an item had been recalled would certainly stop my bidding whether I was sniping or not.
