I guess I still don't get it - why would you bother to bid snipe a single item? Just enter the amount you are actually willing to pay for the thing, and let ebay do the work! Unless beating someone out of the item is the entire point, why not let the proxy bidding system work it's magic? I just can't understand why you'd go through the trouble of bid sniping on a single item, when you could simply bid appropriately in the first place. If it's really worth $20 to you, THEN BID $20. If it's really worth $20.73, BID THAT AMOUNT.
Now the conditional feature (sniping on multiple items) is really interesting, simply because I often DO want to bid on more than one thing, but I don't want to win more than one. I'll definitely be looking at this feature.
