Ebay sniper???

  • I've occasionally used Auctionstealer. I was sceptical about its usefulness, but when I used to bid on the third of 4 identical items finishing the same evening (while I was out) I got mine about 20% cheaper than the others.

    whats sniping??

    Sniping is when you use a specialist site to place your e-bay bid at the very last second - somehow it knows what everyone elses highest bids are and will only go high enough (depending on what limit you have set) to outbid them. The thing is that the people bidding don't know that someone is about to snipe them so don't have time to get a counterbid in. Ah well - all's fair in love and e-bay!!
    ;) If you think you are too small to make a difference, try getting in bed with a mosquito!

  • http://bidninja.com is completely free.
  • BECAREFULL WITH TRUSTING SITES TO DO THE SNIPING FOR YOU, A LOT OF THEM WILL PHISH YOUR DETAILS AND USE YOUR ACCOUNT TO COMMIT FRAUD, NEVER ENTER YOUR LOGIN DETAILS TO ANYTHING OTHER THAN EBAY.COM. Bidninja.com for example is a site that wants your details where in reality you don't know who runs it, Like giving a stranger your bank card and pin and trusting them not to use it. BEAWARE
