Sorry to vent but it just pisses me off, really you didn't know you didn't have the money when you came in and bid at the last second on the auction!!!

Ok I'm done thanks and sorry for wasting a minute of your time to listen to me vent!!

This is no excuse but many people "snipe" the auction. Though the bid comes in during the last few seconds, it can be set up days or weeks in advance. NO EXCUSES FOR THIS, just saying that they could have placed the snipe in advance and either forgot they did it, or something came up that they spent their money on. My point is that they likely didn't make the bid at the time it showed up. Bad form and I'd definitely report them to Ebay and put them on my blocked bidders list.
