Is there a FREE Auction Sniper that works?

Out of interest what happens in 100 snipers all hit an auction in the last second, must cause a problem.
No, the messages will all be sent to ebay and the highest will win. If there is more than one for the highest amount the first one handled will win.
Obviously you cannot guarantee to win if someone places a bid for the same amount you bid first but that is something you have to balance when setting the number of seconds before the auction end that you want to snipe. Leaving more time means that you are less likely to have a bid rejected for being the same as another (or below the appropriate bid increment) whereas setting less time means that you'll be lees likely to have someone who is bidding manually place a new bid in response to yours.There are two types of people in the world: Those that can extrapolate information.0 -
Very many thanks for everyone's useful advice.

It also has the huge advantage that you do not need to reveal your eBay password to a third party.
I assume you not some other site gets to keep your cash back. Any idea if this is right?0
