I use goofbay sniper... never let me dow so far . unless my bid was too low of course!

I HATE Snipers, the number of times i've been beaten with 2 seconds to go.

But wouldn't fall out with you Andy.

Ok Bob, in the excitement of seeing it up for sale I didn't read between the lines on his listing but I'm sure after a skim it would play M

never had a prob with 'esnipe'...£15 credit seems to last for ages...or maybe thats cos im too tight/skint to win 9 out of 10 tunes i go for and you only use up credit when you win

Like trog says, Goofbay is excellent and it's completely free, always - just cancelled Bidnapper after 4 years, was only £30 for 6 months but £30 is £30.

I might be stating the bleedin' obvious but why not put your bid in when you see the item for sale

Turn the internet off and shop in the old fasshioned way its much more fun Andy !

Because then you've played your hand and possibly started a bidding war

Yep happened to me loads of times now i set the alarm clock

Turn the internet off and shop in the old fasshioned way its much more fun...

With a snipe in place, I can buy records even when I'm asleep! Nearly every day I wake up not knowing what records I've bought the night before. Now that's fun!

don't think I ever win anything - and all of my items are low value - if I put my bid in early. Just allows opposing bidders to edge up ahead of you. They can't do that if you snipe or manually submit with seconds to go.

Yep I use esnipe, I don't know if it's the same with other snipes but you can also put a 'snipe it' button on every ebay page you look at, so you can place a snipe without leaving the page, no need for copying auction numbers and opening new tabs, haven't used any others so this could just be the norm,

Thanks for the help chaps

Andy

If someone has put a snipe bid on one of my ebay sales does it show as being watched by that person ? often wondered.

Cheers

no but they probably are also watching it on ebay. i go through all items ending in a day, watch items i'm interested in, and then put in snipes. i could go back and delete the watches but that wouldn't accomplish much.

Bidnapper - You can also change the snipe time I think the default is 4 seonds so you can make it what you want ( 2 seconds) but if you make it to near to the close time it may miss out.......
