Anyone use an eBay sniping tool?

inmypocketnottheirs

Finally bit the bullet and used ezsniper for an item that closed when I wouldn't be around. Worked well and won the item for my maximum bid.

Just a thought though, what'd happen if two people were both using ezsniper (or even another sniping tool) on the same item?

I've used sniping website before, thought they were great until my ebay account got hijacked and used to sell over 50 fake handbags. The security on these website is very poor so if you do use them then change your ebay password regular

I use an ebay sniper site called Snippy (www .snippys.net).
It works with 2 other auctions sites : Delcampe and Yez.
I find it is a good site. I pay only when I win the auctions, so it is not expensive at all.
I have read on this site that we can try it for free.

for me. 3 freebies a week has always been more than enough

also lets you know when you've been pre-outbid.

I love sniping, means I don't pay more than I intend to.

Some one wrote that they couldn't see the point and entered their max proxy bid well before the end. This is daft as some people don't do this and keep adding a series of small bids. Its people like this that snipers really put into place as by adding a last second bid they may think their lower bid has won.

I am very unwilling to let a Sniping website store my login details :mad:. How safe is it ? I tried a basic sniper that is 100% free that requires a small install. Its not over complicated like most and doesn’t have hidden costs. You enter the auction number and this software simply presses the confirm bid button on the normal web page, its really good to watch. :T

It connects with a time server and corrects your PC clock for you which I find really handy :j

Its website is: sniper.martyn.net

Or, you could use Goofbay, who won't install anything :rolleyes:

It's quite likely this program tracks your buying habits, or even nicks your ebay and Paypal passwords.
