Sniping has been mentioned before but not Hammersnipe. However it only bids 15 seconds before the end and even though I have never used a sniper I thought most bid 2 seconds before the end.0

Fantastic link if not a few days to late (You can earn £300 a week etc etc got me first).
Another site that I have found to be a real life saver is: http://www.auctiva.com/
This is a sister company of ebay i think. I spent over 2 hours when i placed my first auction on ebay as i was trying to write the whole thing in HTML and this does it all for you as i write my description in word and then it converts it al to HTML.
Please let me know if you did this on your first auction as i felt very silly afterwards.
