Ok being outbid last minute by those who use the tools is starting to bug me. I am a bit suspicious of the tools as you have to enter your password. Just wondering which the members on here use that have been safe and work 
One day I might be more organised...........

I have used Auction Stealer for the last 3 years with no probs at all!Saving is the new spending! :A0

An auction sniper needs your details otherwise it cannot bid on your behalf
You are right to be concerned about security
For that reason, I pay for my snipes rather than use a free one

I wish everybody else would stop sniping - then I might win a few more items with my snipe bids:rotfl: :rotfl:
I've used AuctionStealer for over 12mths. Good and no probs. You get 3 free snipes per week. From Sunday noon to the next Sunday noon. The snipe bid is from when you place the bid not when the auction finishes. So, you can almost get 6 bids into one week, if you time your snipe bid correctly.You don't stop laughing because you grow old, You grow old because you stop laughing" Large print giveth - small print taketh away.

Only if it is server based. If you use a client based sniper (like JBidWatcher, http://www.jbidwatcher.com/) you never need to give your password to anybody.Thefunkygibbons wrote:An auction sniper needs your details otherwise it cannot bid on your behalfPhilip0 -
I've used Bidslayer http://www.bidslayer.com for 2 years without a problem, loads of options and u can bid on their server so you don't even have to be logged on.
