And it is my belief that doing it this way actually aids those people
looking to save money on shipping, as they can see when browsing that I
usually have a large selection of pieces all ending at the same time.

I saw these auctions when they ran, and even though I wanted
some of the pieces I didn't bid because of the ending time.

Oftentimes I don't know what I'll bid on beforehand.  If I win one
auction, I may want another set of pieces from another auction to
compliment it.  In those cases I won't bid on the second item until
I know that I won the auction for the first item.

Things also depend on the ending price.  If I won an auction for
less than I expected, then I might go ahead and bid on something
that I would have normally ignored.

Finally, there's the issue of shipping.  Even if you're not a
sniper, you may still want to increase your bid at the end of the
auction (just like a real auction -- everyone doesn't drop a bid
into a hat beforehand and hope that theirs is highest).  I'm
not going to bid on items that will cost me more to ship than
the items themselves unless I can ensure that I win enough auctions
to make it worthwhile.  In many cases bidding an extra $2.00 to
win an item is still cheaper because shipping costs were defrayed
by another auction.

Can't "Mister Lister" put a one minute delay between auctions?
Otherwise I'll just keep ignoring them...

I think the only way is to submit the bundles in smaller amountsand wait a few
minutes between each upload,that woul do it.

Chris (who hopefully made sense but isn't feeling particularly
      lucid tonight).
