  If your computer is up all the time you can use www.jbidwatcher.com but it runs on your machine, not theirs. It is freeware. It works well. --Jerry

  I had a situation about a year ago with auctionsniper.com where they placed a snip 50 seconds early instead of the 4 seconds early that I had the snipe set up for. In that fifty seconds, some dude ran the bid up over $100, making four seperate bids. I contacted auction sniper with my concerns. They offered me three free snipes. I fired them.
  
  I use phantom bidder now and COULD NOT be happier with them. Their service cost fifty cents per successful snipe... unlike the 5% ($5 max at the time) that auction sniper was charging at the time. I highly recommend them.

  It's been very unreliable lately. I may take the advice here and try one or two of the other services.

  I have used eSnipe for years and only missed a snipe once - and that was due to a problem with Ebay not eSnipe.

  Why would you guy pay esnipe for every winning bid.
  Doesn't that get a lot more expensive than a program that runs on your system?
