    I too would be interested if there is one of these. I've got an item I'm watching that I really don't want to loose. They only come up once or twice a year and don't want to miss out on this one.
    This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

    The bid increments are set by ebay, not the snipers - and given that most of them place the bid with about 5 seconds to go, there would not be enough time to place a series of bids at 1p increases until victory is secured.

    The bid increments start at 20p... not really sure what you are asking but it would have to be at least 20p. :confused:
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine. :p

    Well, that would be impossible... Only the bidder knows how much they have bid and there is no way the snyping 'tool' can get that information.

    I don't think you have thought this through OP. You are wanting to see the cards befoe playing the game. Follow the old maxim. Bid high, bid late. If it goes for 1p more than you bid and you are annoyed then you didn't bid your maximum, you were trying to get too cute.

    Just bid £1,000,000. You will not lose.
  • I was thinking the same thing, if you dont care what it costs just bid thousands!! lol

    Otherwise, put in your absolute maximum price you are willing to pay... thats how it works.
