What are the big name and/or reliable auction sniper services and or pc software available for ebay?

What is your favorite free ebay auction "sniper" service or software?

Recommended ebay freeware sniper software tool? Can anyone suggest any good freeware ebay/auction sniper software tool/s that work with Windows 7 O/S? There are many auctions that end during times that its not possible to be at a computer/pc/laptop. Anyone having any advise on good freeware for this purpose would be much appreciated as I suffer from chronic illnesses, and being able to set up some pre-bids with a free auction sniper-ware would be a huge help to enable them to be set in during my 'brighter' times and give me more success, as I have to use the internet for all my needs including prezzies for birthdays, christmas, thankyou's, etc etc. Anyone with a helpful suggestion for a freeware sniper software would be most gratefully received, thank you 8-) Best wishes to all out there

What's the best Ebay "sniper" software out there? I wouldn't normally use it as I prefer the excitement of manually bidding on my acutions, and besides go through Kickitback for cash kick backs, which I highly recommend (http://www.kickitback.com/default.aspx?rid=30163), but sometimes, when the auction is coming up at three in the morning, it would be a nice tool to have. Anyone have any recommendations?

E-bay sniper - Where is the cheapest and best place to download this piece of software.? Silly question maybe, but.... If I use e-bay sniper do I have to leave my PC on during the last day/hour of the auction so it can bid for me? Thanks IHMA. The article was a big help. Yeah, a big help I've gone for a sniper called Prospector. It only took 5 minutes to download and program in my bid. To: 'Haley (I got banned, stupid!!)'... I don't think you understand what e-bay sniping is or why people use e-bay snipers. If you bid too early in the auction other bidders can use a sniper to outbid you in the last 5 seconds of an auction. It's happened to me twice already.

what does sniping software do? Define sniping software? is it a software that places the bid on the last second? I am a seller. can I put bidding sniper on my auction items? for examnple i list my auction with 99 cents but want my item to sell for no less than $10 so i enter $10 into bidding snipper or whatever the software appropirate for that and when someone places the bid of $1 $2... the software will bid it and till it reaches the max $10? I have tried to bid on someone listing and it said i have been just outbidded. then i entered higher amount and it said same thing again and again and again. Is this called bidding sniper or is it something else? Thanks very much

How exactly does sniping on Ebay work? Say I decide to "snipe" something. I enter in my maximum bid and choose the 5 second cut off. Does that mean that my sniper software will automatically outbid the other person 5 seconds before the auction ends up to the amount of my maximum bid? Or will it automatically start bidding and then keep bidding (if I am out bid) until 5 seconds before the auction ends? Can someone explain exactly how this works? If an item I'm bidding on is currently 10 dollars but I put my bid in at 40 dollars, is the sniping software going to bid 40 dollars 10 seconds before the auction ends, or is it going to continue to bid UP TO 40 dollars before the auction ends?

How do I beat the Ebay snipers? Everything that we bid on recently has been outbid in the final few seconds of the auction. It's clear that they are using software. How do we beat them?

Ebay sniping software/service that stops bidding once you've won one of the items you're tracking? I'm looking to buy a higher ticket item on eBay and there are several listed. My sniping software is a simple open-source product, great for straight use but I'm looking to set up something more complex here. I need a product that allows me to flag multiple auctions, set a price, snipe away but then STOP if I actually win one of the auctions. I'm not sure what this feature would even be called, so I can't tell who would offer it. I have DSL, so I can use software, but if I have to employ a service to get the feature I need, I'll do that. I just don't want to wake up one morning, log in and discover that my sniper has just purchased me 15 of the same item and is still bidding away!!

Do you have any cool EBay tricks to share? I'd specifically like to know if searches can be automated? I'm constantly searching for things on EBay, typing in the same search criteria over and over, on a very hit-or-miss basis. Does anyone know of any software, website, or maybe even a feature built into EBay that will run a large number of keyword-based searches for me periodically and automatically? I want to be notified (email and/or text msg) as soon as any of the many things I've been searching for appears, most especially the harder-to-find, seldom-listed ones. Also, do you know of any other neat tricks for optimizing one's EBay use? I'm exclusively a Buyer right now, but Sellers' (ethical) tricks would be appreciated as well. Right now, the best Buyer's trick I know of is the automatic sniper; I use Snipestreet to place my maximum bids just before the end of the auction. It's free, and has never failed me yet, unless of course I didn't bid high enough. Anyone have any input on Snipestreet, or any other sniping service? If so, could you please include info on fees? Thanks Kim, I had never noticed that feature before. I just tried it, and it looks as if it will be very helpful. I'm assuming it will run the search for you automatically - if so, do you have any idea how often, and can you specify that somewhere? In the meantime, I found a pretty cool site called Auctionsleuth that will run up to 200 searches for you at any frequency you want, even every minute I think, for as long as you keep the search active. They must have some pretty powerful servers. Definitely try using one of the bid snipers - it's great never having to worry about missing the closing of an auction, or staying up late just to bid on something. Plus, it's nice to not let anyone know you're interested in something ahead of time. Just put in the highest price you're willing to pay, and wait for an email telling you if you won or not. If you lose, no problem - it was more than you wanted to pay anyway, and it keeps you from bidding more than you "should" - BTDT :)
