Ebay Snipes

Has anybody ever had any trouble with any of the sniper services. I am a little hesitant having to give my information over like my password and such to be able to use the snipes....

    I haven't used them lately but never had a problem. I used a couple of the bigger snipe services. They worked like a charm!
  • Aren't there a couple that you can do like five free snipes a month without having to sign up?

    If you are worried about the security of your primary EBAY
    account, simply open a new EBAY-buyer account just for snipes.

    So far, I have not heard of any security problems with any of
    the snipe services.

    What if you have multiple auctions ending at the same time?

    Exactly!

    I won a bunch of cards from the same seller recently. I think 10 or so cards. They all ended at the same exact time. There is no way to manually snipe all of them when a seller lists them like that. If I didnt have Justsnipe I would have paid more for the cards because the price would have been driven up or I possibly would have lost some.

    Also what will you do if you cant be there to bid at the end of the auction?

    Get a snipe service, its the way to go.

    Or, what if you have a job, or a life away from a computer?

    I use just snipe all the time and I've never had a problem. Saves money, but also saves time and hassle.
  • it limits the things i can bid on when i make myself snipe......this is a good thing, otherwise i would be bidding and winning way to many things.....

    if it ends when i cant be at the computer, i dont bid for it.....

    if multiple things are ending at the same time, i pick the one i want the most.....

    i think many people share my view and i believe it wise for sellers to end auctions at appropriate times (weekends) and not end all their auctions at the same time...i think ending them 2 minutes apart leaves plenty time for a free hand snipe!

    I use just snipe's free service and never had a problem. When a seller is breaking a set or if multiple Sellers have things ending at the same time, I'll sign up for a month because it evens out in the end.

    I heard Ebay Snipes' brother (Wesley) is going to jail for tax evasion.

    I was gonna say the same thing.

    Plus, another great feature - I have a habit of forgetting to bid and sometimes miss out on a good item.

    Just enter a snipe and go watch TV.

    BTW...

    Has anyone ever sniped the wrong item?

    The weekend my cat died - I was kind of out of it - I "copied" the wrong item number and bought a card I was just watching to see what it would bring. When I entered it, I never looked at the line with the item; since if I had, I would've immediately seen it was not the card I wanted.

    Unfortunately - I already owned the card in a higher grade and had no use for it.

    I still paid for the card but had it shipped to a friend who's selling it for me.

    That's pretty idiotic on my part - I must admit.

    If I happen to be in front of the computer, I'll snipe manually, but the sniping services are really great for most cases. Who has the time and energy to be sitting in front of the computer screen and refreshing the screen during that last minute to put a bid through? I know I don't, and an auction sniping service is ridiculously cheap to use. I use AuctionSniper and I haven't had a missed snipe in over four years. Saves you time and energy and for me that that equals money. It's well worth the small fee.

  • I think it's better to do it on your own. Although there have been a number of times when I have had to do it from my cell phone when I was at work or in class. Those are great too!
