What is best ebay sniping site??, by nacional on Jul 28, 2008 20:20:15 GMT 1, Totally sick of losing auctions.
Is it worth signing up to web-based sniping sites. I see they ask for my passowrd which makes me a bit nervous as doesn't this give them access to my credit card??
Are they any good, are they seen as "not cricket", what is best one? Or does everyone use them and I am the only "Joey" on here?

What is best ebay sniping site??, by dslug on Jul 29, 2008 7:29:45 GMT 1, A quick and simple ebay trick when bidding,never end your bid in 0s or 5s for example 100 should be 100.99 or 101.99 and 105 should be 106.99 and so on,doing it this way has def won me a few auctions by the bare minimum required to win it.

If you want something badly enough then be prepared to pay a premium for it or don't moan about not getting it.

What is best ebay sniping site??, by nacional on Jul 29, 2008 13:43:55 GMT 1, Thing is , I want to buy a Micallef JD, if I want to win I am not going to put in a bid for 1500 quid straight off, i want to pay as little as i can to secure the thing, so I whack up my bid in small increments to try and leave the other bidders behind. What happens to me all the time is that I seem to be winning until 1 second before the end of the auction when someone or something whacks in a bid that is always a few quid more than mine. Because it is so close to the closing point of the auction I don't have time to put in a new bid and lose the thing. Sniping sites whack in the bids with superfast software that comes in right at the end of the auction and don't give non-snipers time to put in another bid. VIZ, I lose, snipers win, I get sniped up i can win. It seems as if almost all use snipers so that is why I am losing the desirable stuff...

If you get the email saying won...if not, on to the next one.

What is best ebay sniping site??, by daddychaps on Jul 30, 2008 12:48:10 GMT 1, Surely if you bid ยฃ1500 for a JD on day 1 it stays at whatever the lowest bid is (Say ยฃ500)
Then if someone snipes the auction with a bid of ยฃ1000... then you only wind up paying ยฃ1100ish.
If they snipe more than ยฃ1500... you miss out.
Have i understood this correctly? Am i missing something as to where sniping helps? Surely you still pay what you were willing to pay

What is best ebay sniping site??, by nacional on Jul 30, 2008 18:56:04 GMT 1, Any chance of an introduction to some of these girls discoduster: I promise I don't look like pimp....
Regarding sniping: you win offa them cbeacuse they sneak (snipe) in with a bid in the last 1 second. This means that you do not get drwan into a pissing contest with some other bloke as the other bloke doesn't have time to get back with his bid that is more than yours. Its all about timing: I've sat here so many times with a winning bid, then with one second to go, everything goes wild as loads of snipers lunge in and my bid, that was number 9, gets beaten by bid number 25 that is only 17 pounds more than mine. I don't have time to react to this bid even if i was willing to up my bid.
Hope this explains it, but I have a feeling it won't.....
I guess the only answer really is, as Nigel Tufnel said "But this goes to 11...." From what film, trainspotters......
