Gives enough time for the bid to be placed and leaves very little time for someone else to outbid you.

I agree, Snipping is the way to win an auction, it also stops the seller performing any kind of Shill bidding to bump up the price.
ebay was once going to stop Sniping, not to allow bidders to bid in the last few seconds, I reckon they will try this again in the near future.
