Whatever way you bid you are competing against those doing the same. I can only see advantages of a sniper. You simply enter your max bid and forget about it. And you don't waste time watching the last minutes of the bidding. You get a mail as soon as you win the item.
Moreover, you will not be tempted to raise your max bid last minute and end up buying something for more than you initially intended. Last minute frenzy made me do things I regretted later.
