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.

sniping 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.
