Auction Sniping is bidding at the last moment. It is an attempt to take advantage of the slightly irrational way people set their maximum bid at less than they are actually prepared to pay, then increase it when they start loosing. By bidding at the last moment you leave no time for them to bid more.
Often people set a maximum just high enough to become the winner at the time they set it, but would pay more to win if necessary -- treating their maximum bid as if it was an actual bid.
Some people seem to see auctions as competitions, and once they have started bidding they become determined to win. Also, if someone else is prepared to pay a lot of money for something, that might increase your own confidence that it is valuable.
So sniping works. The combination of sniping and the behaviours it relies on probably means sellers do less well than if everyone just set their maximum bid according to what things are worth to them (which would make sniping pointless).
