eBay Sniper Programs

Just returned from having lost an ebay auction in the last few seconds. I really wanted the item, with 50 seconds to go I bid at £87 and put a maximum bid of £100. I was the winning bidder, then suddenly I was way outbid at £128. I had forseen this and had some browser windows setup ready to accept a bid, but a fumble and it was too late. I guess that my counter bidders were using some kind of automatic bidding software called a sniper program. I must investigate them, but I fear that I would have lost anyway, as I never would had the courage to set £150 as maximum.
