This happened to me many times now and it doesn't get any less frustrating. I have a winning bid in an auction and wait for it to end, and at the very last SECOND someone outbids me and I loose the auction I've been following for HOURS. This is a very rude thing to do and sadly very common.

An easy solution to this problem would be to either:
1. Add a few minutes to the auction if someone makes a bid in the last, let's say, ten seconds. It would give enough time for the "you have been outbid" notification to arrive and to make a new bid. Or,
2. Block the bids a few second before the end of the auction. This amount of time should either vary or kept secret or snap bidders will simply calculate when to make their last bid.

I refuse to become a snap bidder myself so that leaves me with no hope to get decent pokemons out of the auction house. I'm sad to say that if the issue isn't discussed I will stop playing PokeHeroes because I feel cheated and frustrated. That is not what I expect out of this game, not in those amounts. I really like this game for the little time I could play it and I would hate to leave for seemingly such a small issue.

Suggested & rejected in the past.

Quote from from the threadsniping benefits the auction owner. And if you really want the Pokemon, bid higher or stay alert on the auction page.

You can always have a higher bid ready in case you do get sniped, you just have to pay attention.
