Man these people are quick. It had 1 second left on a van Bagon. I'm new to this game but I looked it up, figured it was rare. I had a measly 120 bid on it. Last literally, last 1 second this guy bid 2000 and won.

I wish they would at least extend it by like 3 seconds if it's bid on in the last 10. But dang people are good at sniping, thought I would have got lucky with a rare-ish Pokemon.

Yeah, it does suck. But it's like a bid in real life. Whoever puts in the most before time runs out wins. Many people suggested that a time increase be added but they always get rejected.

I feel you. I've had many pokemon sniped before I sniped (even a Uxie going for like 200PD).

However, extending a bid by 3 secs if it is bid on in the last 10 secs won't stop snipers, they will just bid again and again until the auction runs forever.

It's annoying but thrilling.

if you don't like being sniped, i suggest using the gts, as there will be no method to prevent sniping, as has been said many times.

One time I was 1 second away from getting a psychic arceus for 2000 pd and someone sniped me in the last second. It sucks :(

It's just kind of a part of PH that you have to accept, honestly.

Also, @SharkWillBraviary, Arceus is trade-locked, so I don't think it can be auctioned.

Sigh
You just have to learn to snipe yourself
I learnt to bid on something I already bid on again at the last second
