Avoid getting outbid at the last minute on eBay

The apparently newest and most advanced eBay sniping tool is BidSitter at http://bidsitter.com. It also appears to be the simplest to use. Check it out.

Weird, it didn't take my last message. Anyway, I have used BidSitter and am very happy with it. It has won several auctions for me at prices that seemed great. Seems pretty darn secure too. They use something called "Double Encryption Delta" which makes it so even they themselves cannot even see your eBay password. They give a free trial too and then only charge 25 cents for each auction won (and nothing if you don't win, which is way cool).The apparently newest and most advanced eBay sniping tool is BidSitter at http://bidsitter.com.

I wrote in about ebay sniping a few weeks ago (how quickly we are forgotten). The best site is:-
http://www.justsnipe.com/
This gives only 5 seconds for someone to get in ahead of you instead of the usual 10 seconds. Better still you do not have to bother with trials or only using it 3 times a week etc, and its free!
I have just tried using JustSnipe and tested it this morning and was outbid, but it was ok, it seem to work so I just used it again in a rather important auction and guess what ?? yep it never bid for me I never entered any bid and guess what ?? yep I bid higher than what it went for, so those of you who has got JustSnipe, be careful of using it, if it is important for you to win !!!0 -
Hi everyone - thanks for all the tips.
I've used BidNip now quite a few times and been successful about 9 times out of 10. Even after you've used up the free snipes another 20 I think was very very cheap. I never bid on the ebay site now, as you say it just pushes up the price and so far so good!!
I've made a list of the other sites to keep too.

They all ask for this as they have to use your details to bid with.rafi wrote:have you used this yourself, does it work and is it secure? You have to give your ebay user name and password and initially get 5 free 'goes'.
I have won 30 items using the service and got one missed bid because ebay had messed with their templates again, they gave me 10 free winning snipes for that
I am 100% happy that they "ROCK!" - see my sig for more details.
