Hi need some help please, am looking into using sniping tools to bid on ebay but want to know just how safe they are?
I am aware that you need to give your ebay id and password but am concerned at how secure the sites are...any suggestions please

I think the key is to stick to a well-known reputable one.
I use https://www.auctionsniper.com
If you stop using them, change your password!

I snipe manually. Its much more fun!
The reason people don't move right down inside the carriage is that there's nothing to hold onto when you're in the middle.0 -

No, Hammersnipe are fine & I believe are part of one of the other well known sniper groups. I've used them myself in the past.The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.0 -

if u want a program based snpie tool use JBidWatcher-0.9.7pre2.jar ,..yes its JAVA based,. but as long as ur firewall is up and u AV is safe then the program is safe ,. (like any other program) i can snipe in the last 3 seconds anything less and it will miss the Auction0 -
sounds quite rude when you put it like that milkyMilky_Mocha wrote:I snipe manually. Its much more fun!

I use snip.pl Have done for months, you can "Group shot" which means bid on dozens of identical (or similar) items butt it automatically stops bidding on the others as soon as you win a set amount of them."If a man says something, but there is no woman to hear him, is he still wrong?"0
