This will probably sound really stupid so i apologise in advance but "sniping" whats it all about ???
From what i can gather it bids at the last minute for an item upto a maximum (that the bidder chooses) and hopes this is enough.
So why is this any different to me doing this manually with 5 or10 seconds to go on an auction (using 2 windows and refreshing 1 while bid at the ready on the other) ?
in the end your only going to pay what you want to pay

No but some of us have other things we have to do.

I use https://www.justsnipe.com never any problem and 5 free snipes a week.

not all of us have time to be sitting at our computer screens waiting for the last 10 seconds of an auction

I know i know not everyone can be around for the last minutes of an auction but lets say i see a pair of shoes that i want and i know what there worth and i know i'm only going to pay £50 for them.
if i put my maximum bid in early or i use a sniping tool i'm still only going to pay a max of 50 quid. Arn't i ?

ah, but if you put a £50 max bid in early, when the current bids are only up to £25, you may get others chipping away at your bid, increasing the amount you finally pay.

Ah !! so the general rule of bidding is that if you bid early, chances are you will pay more.. I am new to the e-bay thing so forgive me
