I just bid the highest amount I want to pay and let ebay handle it from there. If someone wants to pay more, it not really sniping, but just paying more.

I still snipe. The issue with bidding early is it raises the price. Other people have time to come back and raise their max bids.
This.
I also enjoy the thrill of a last second win!

I always find it funny that the person who is willing to pay the most is the "winner".
Why?
If a person paid what they were willing to pay to get what they want, they've won.
Because it's about the acquisition, at least for most people.
'I didn't pay the most, and I didn't get the item, SO I WIN!'
'Congratulations, you came in second, you didn't win, SO YOU WIN!'
I don't think so, Tim.
If they regretted the purchase, then it's a different story.

I set it and forget it. A few moments on eSnipe and then it's just a matter of waiting for the notification e-mail to arrive.

I’d still have regret. You still have a maximum amount it’ll go, correct? If someone else loads eSnipe for a dollar more, that’ll suck.
I look at it this way. I wait until about 15 seconds are left and then go for it. If I still get sniped, it “wasn’t meant to be” and I move on with my life.

There's nothing to keep you from checking in on the auction to see if bidding has exceeded your preset Not-To-Exceed price and increasing it if you want the item badly enough.

These sniper programs automatically bid for you at the literal last second. So there's no time for second chances and reconsiderations. I was sitting there at 10pm sitting pretty as the high bidder, watching the Live countdown timer on eBay; 00:00:05, 00:00:04, 00:00:03, 00:00:02, <the price suddenly goes up by $43, one dollar past your limit in one shot> price jumps from $101 to $143 in one shot, 00:00:01, 00:00:00. Auction ends. Have a good night.
