ARGH...Can you please tell me in idiot proof terms how I can snipe as I cant always be at the computer and I want to win some things without bidding too early....thanks

And do they set snipers to a certain level and whatever you bid they pip you by just a bit? pleae enlighten me im getting discouraged!!! x x x

www.auctionstealer.com or
www.auctionsniper.com

thanks x x

are they easy to use?? x x

Very. I can use it!

oh good as im a wee bit scared of new things for some reason - do you pay for these lol and also which of the 2 is the better one? thanks! x x Im building up some courage to try now (she says in shame as she said she never would.....)Do lots of people use snipers then I take it? x x

Can't say which is better because I've only used AuctionSniper.com. Can't imagine there's much difference, though. You have put "credit" into your auctionsniper account using paypal and then you are charged a small percentage for each successful snipe.

oh god, i know how you feel. i was pipped at the post in the last 6 seconds of an ebay auction recently. i know ebay has some bid assistant thing now you can use. i assume you prob have to pay for the priveledge though

ah i get it obviously a lot more people sniping these days x x shame eh I thought I was winning then BAM they win! Its so not funny lol ! x

are there really 'sniper' sites? i've never heard of these what do they do?

Spookles, you sign up to a site like AuctionSniper and give them your ebay log-in. Their computer "watches" your auction and at the last second, bids on your behalf just a litte above the current price, so that you win the auction. You have to set your maximum price so they won't bid what you can't afford. You give them a few cent for every winning bid they make on your behalf, you don't pay if you lose the auction.
