> Why do sellers on Ebay care if there is sniping?

encourage sniping is so that the winner of an auction is the one who
wanted to pay the most for it, who may not necessarily be the one who

involves bidders who don't have solid maximums in mind when they bid
(which apparently is very frequently), the winning bid isn't necessarily
the highest one.
