I can recommend vrane as well.
What do you feel about giving out that information and do you change your password right after a snipe?

Auctionsniper fees are 1% of value per snipe, 25 cent min, $5 max. If you win just 2 $500+ items with Auctionsniper, you are already behind Phantombidder.

Well, not just anybody. Most of the services mentioned in this thread are well-established commercial ventures with published privacy policies and proven track records. It wouldn't make good business sense to have your password information in a hijackable format.
Even if your eBay information got out, what's the worst that could happen? Your account might be used to bid on a bunch of stuff, but you still don't have to pay. Or your account might be used to fraudulently list a bunch of items -- troubling, sure -- but you can unravel it. Peoples' accounts get hijacked all the time from scammers. If a scammer wanted to do this, it's much easier to awaken an army of zombies to send out phish-spam, and take over the accounts of the suckers who fall for it than to break into a sniper's website.
Still, if one does a "real" business on eBay, it's prudent to use a separate account for your sniping and buying than the one you use for selling. That way, worst comes to worst, your selling account remains intact, and you can just NARU the buying account and start a new one.

Very wise suggestion.
I have done this but not intentional.

<< <i>How do you feel about giving your eBay username and password out to just anybody. This is what has kept me from ever using a sniping program or service. Actually, I used one that I downloaded, once. Then I immediately changed my password on eBay.

Jonathan,
Giving your ebay info to
<< <i>just about anybody >>
and giving your ebay username and
password to a sniping firm are two different things.
The former I'd never do. The latter I have no problem with it until I hear enough reports of people getting
ripped by their Online Auction Snipe Provider™.
For now, I'd be more concerned about losing my credit info from somebody hacking into Amazon or any other site that
has my credit info.
Just my opinion.
