Question about auction sniping on ebay? Ok, so i was watching a video about auction sniping, and programs. The guy talked about manual auction sniping and program auction sniping, and have a question about each. With manual auction sniping, When you are at the last seconds and lets say the highest bid is 40 dollars, and you are going to snipe it for 60 dollars. In the video, the person entered in 60 dollars, and won the auction for 41 dollars. Does that mean that you can bid for more and ebay will automatically put your value for less if nobody matches it? And with program sniping, what is the best and safest program to use? Ive heard of Snipe to win and BayGenie

ebay auction sniping? I'm looking for a good ebay sniping service. I've tried a few desktop clients but none of them worked, plus I have to leave my PC on 24 hours a day.

Auction Sniping? Okay, on ebay when you have a sniper program set up, say i have it set for 5 seconds...does the sniper program know they have a maximum bid? Is 5 seconds ( for the snipe set up ) too short a time for it to consecutively bid it for me until i have outbid them. thanks alot well iguess what i mean is, because they have a max bid and the program doesnt know what it is, that means it will have to auto-bid for me until it overrides theirs, i dont know how fast these programs are...but would 5 seconds be enough time?

Why are 0 feedback new ebay users auction chasing & sniping my gold jewelry listings, then no payment? I haven't had this go on with $2 magazines nor $30 jeans. Am currently having an issue with a non-payment on a gold ring and another suspicious incident with a gold+diamonds listing that hasn't ended yet. A bidder with strikingly similar ID to the non-payer, no feedback, brand new account, just tried to drive my price up around 100% but I canceled them out. Can they still bid since I did that? I don't quite understand what is going on here. What can I do to prevent ebay 0 feedback scammers, why are they doing this, what's the purpose... are they stealth accounts that other sellers make to ruin my listings in favor of theirs, take away my sales or steal my information?!

Winning an Auction on Ebay? Hi everyone! I'm a fairly new user to the world of eBay. For the most part of my life, I've only purchased from buy it now retailers like Amazon. Today, when I got bored, I checked on eBay. I've been looking recently into buying an Xbox360 Elite (120gb). This is my first day using eBay, but I'm already fully recognized to the method of Snipe Bidding on eBay. Here is my overview of the product and situation (You'll need to read it to understand my question) 1) This auction is for an Xbox 360 (120gb Elite). 2) There is approximately 23 hours remaining in the auction. 3) About 45 minutes into the auction, a bidder (checking his records, he is a fairly experience bidder, but from what I can tell he is NOT a fellow snipe bidder because he placed his bid at an early stage in the auction) placed $.99 on the item. 4) After going grocery shopping for 2 hours, I found that a second bidder (checking his records, he is a very NEW bidder, less than 30 days,) placed a bid of $10.25. From this, I can tell he has no clue whatsoever about snipe bidding, because he is already driving the price up. 5) I'm not in anyway worried about winning the auction ( as the only snipe bidder there, I'm confident I'll win). However, I have questions regarding the payment process as this is my first time using eBay. **************************************… 6) Once it nears the end of the auction, I expect the price of this item to be around $150. I am willing to pay $190 for it, so this is what I will set my snipe bid too (I'm doing manual snipe bidding). I'm wondering about these questions -Since the price of the item will be around $150 at the end of the bid, and I placed a maximum bid of $190 on the item, will I pay $155 (or something around there) if I win the auction, or will I have to pay my maximum bid? -Secondly, I have a paypal account, but it only has $45 in it. The bank account I used to start this paypal with only has $.11 in it. This seller accepts credit cards through paypal (which is how I wish to pay). I'm wondering. How can I set up my paypal so that when I make the purchase, I will pay for the item with all of my paypal value, and put the rest to charge on my card. ( I don't want it to take the remainder of my balance to my bank account because of overdraft fees.) Thanks for answering my very long question. Best Answer gets 5 Stars and 10 points!
Why am I outbid as soon at I hit submit on Ebay? I heard of the sniping software, but does it raise the other persons bid as soon as you bid? I heard it was suppose to raise the bid only seconds before auction ends? So how does it work? What if two people are using it at the same time? OR, do you think the items are just rigged?
To longtime Ebayers- what complaints, if any, do you have about Ebay? To any longtime Ebayers out there- what policies should Ebay change? My only complaint is the feedback change- where only buyers can leave negative feedback. Also, sniping on auctions should be prohibited. Do you have any complaints about Ebay, or are you happy with it? It's the only game in town, there is no alternative online auction site with the same traffic..seems we have no choice but to take the good with the bad...
What is a good bid sniping program for Ebay? I've seen some of these on the internet and most want your ebay id and password and I don't know which ones are any good or which ones are safe.

Also I would like to find one for other auction services also.
Does anyone know any SAFE bid sniping websites to win Ebay auctions? Thanks I just have my eye on a specific item i really need.
Ebay: Why would people be watching my item if it is fixed price? I'm quite new to ebay. I did a bidding auction for an item before and I understand why I had watchers for that (because they were all sniping for it when there was one minute to go) but with a fixed price, why?
How can I be outbid on Ebay by 1 cent? My max bid was $31.00 and the auction was at $28.50 for the last hour. Then with 1 second left I lost the auction to someone who bid $31.01. How is this possible? I understand sniping software get's a bid in at the last second, but if my bid had to be in dollar increments how can someone outbid me by a penny?
What safe snipeing programs aare there for ebay?

Bidding on eBay, auction ends tonight.......? Last week I placed my bid on an 12-year-old (but famous) game in "Like New" condition and the images are real, not stock photos (I'm not revealing which one it is, until after I choose the correct answer). The auction ends tonight and I am the only one who has placed a bid ($14.99, it started at $9.99). This is my very first auction, so I don't know if I made a mistake. Then I read some "horror" stories from people bidding and getting outbid on the last 10 seconds of the auction. I wanted to buy the game since 2004, but couldn't because I moved and they don't sell the game any more, so I chose eBay. I really want the game and if I buy it new from eBay, I'll need to spend at least 40 dollars (four times the original auction price of $9.99). So how I do prevent being outbid on the last hour/minute/second? I'm going to be watching the time of the auction endings and eBay will email me if I get outbid, but how do I make sure I win? (I'm skeptical towards those "Sniping" programs) This is my plan: I'll open 2 windows of the page with the countdown (Bid history). One of them will be for refreshing until the end of the auction. The other window is to counter the "snipers" and quickly place a bid slightly higher than them (maybe one cent higher, I'm not sure, yet). My internet is not lighting fast, that's why I have two windows open. Is this a good idea???
How do I setup Prospector Lite to snipe an item on ebay.? I figured out how to bid, but I don't know how to set it to place my bid just before the auction ends.

Starting to get nervous. Ebay Auction for $2000 Watch only at 20$ With 6 hours left??? Should I cancel ? I've got a very symbolic item that I have placed on Ebay. It's a Jorg Gray 6500 Secret service Edition Chronograph watch. There was only 400 made. It's the same watch President Obama sports, with the secret service logo on the black dial. Well, I'm starting to get very nervous... There were 120 Views, 10 Waters and 9 bids, and it's at 20$??? The auction end's in around 5 hours. This is driving me crazy because my Gut is telling me something is wrong. I feel like canceling this thing because I do not want to chance it. I don't care if Ebay or the Customer gives me a negative feedback. Last months I put an old Citizen Watch online, and the bids were more active than this. This watch should be sitting at about 30% Value by this point. I know a lot of people on Ebay SNIPE, but this is scaring me... 20$?? That's a huge loss.
How do eBay sniper programs work? Where can I find a Sniper Program for other sites? Here's what im looking for ... I want a program that will look at other web sites that constantly update data, and can fill in or submit data based on preset options. Kinda the same way that sniping programs work with ebay ie. how it is able to see auction numbers and fill in and submit bids. I heard of a program called "bots" but was not able to find any helpful information on it. Please help
What is sniping? Should I use it? I've read that with this system that you can download on your computer, you are more likely to win auctions on-line (ebay) and it's useful for when you are not able to be present at the end of auctions. My question is, is it legal to use it? Is it safe to download it? Can you advise a reliable source? many thanks to all
Any E-Bayers out there?? Then tell me why??? Why do buyers bid so damn early and bring up the prices of the items?? Some even outbid themselves. Don't these people know to snipe and bid the last minute of the auction to keep the price down and to win....cheap???
Ebay???!!! *Ebay Users only***? I have bidded on the same game 2 or 3 times to ensure I get it because I've been caught out by snipers before and now the auction only has an hour to go and no one has bidded on any of them now I'm genna have about 3 copies. Anyway should I wait for the ones I've bidded and risk them being sniped or should I wait until the near end and see If I'm outbid then try anouther auction or try to forget about it and risk all of the games. Thanks ~LickingRabbit
Why do people "snipe" on Ebay? Why don't they just figure out the max they're willing to pay, bid that, and be done with it. Do they not understand that Ebay's proxy bidding is designed so they don't HAVE to nervously watch the auction? getting the lowest price possible doesn't explain it. If I want the lowest price possible, and I can decide what the highest price I'm willing to pay is, I can bid that price and either I won't win or I'll get it for what turned out to be the lowest price possible.
On ebay, why do people bid on auctions so early? Do they expect to win? For example, auctions that start at $0.01 or $0.99 can go up to over $50 because people bid too early and slowly drive up the price. Wouldn't it be smarter to wait until the end and snipe a good deal? If you're going to bid that high, why not go to the store and buy the thing? Seems kind of stupid to me.
A Free Ebay Sniper? I want something that I saw REALLY badly. So I'm looking for A Good Ebay Sniper thats Free....I want one that snipes in like the last 5 or 10 SECONDS BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS!!! Please HELP!!! Thanks
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?

Looking for an ignition 3.0 dance pad in calgary? Hi I've been looking for an ignition 3.0 dance pad for a really long time now. I've checked EB games and they never have it in stock. I don't want to order the mat from the official Redoctane website because it would cost my 130$. Because its 79.99, plus around 50% shipping. So, I was wondering if anybody can tell me if theres any place in calgary that sells ignition 3.0's, or if anybody is willing to sell me one at a reasonable price. I've also checked Ebay, and theres never a Buy It Now that ships to canada. And, I can't really auction "snipe". Well, thanks. Anything is much appreciated.
Ebay or Paypal problem? Im using a program to snipe auctions on ebay and I won a auction but then I noticed I did not win. I got an error message from my program called Bid-O-Matic that says: This seller has set buyer requirements for this item and only sells to buyers who meet those requirements. "You are unable to bid on or buy this item because: You either don't have a PayPal account or your PayPal account is not linked to your eBay account. We encourage you to register with PayPal - it is the fast, easy and safe way to pay. Register with PayPal | Already have a PayPal account?" However I do hav a paypal account and it is linked to my ebay account as far as I know. Im sure I am paypal confirmed.
How do you bid on eBay? Do you put your maximum bid in and leave, or do you watch the auction and only bid in the last minutes? Me, I like to snipe :-) Gets your heart moving too!
Did eBay Auctions used to AutoExtend? I was having a conversation today about sniping on eBay and I mentioned that back in the early days of eBay if someone placed a bid in the last few minutes of the auction, eBay would add three minutes to the auction so the other bidders had time to react. My friend said that I was nuts and that eBay auctions have always ended at exactly their ending time. I would have sworn I was right...Am I nuts?

Where is a good place to buy vintage cameras, other than ebay? So I have just gotten fed up with ebay snipers outbidding me at the last second. I refuse to use the sniping program because it is unfair. I love old cameras and love collecting them, not so much for the dollar value but because I enjoy looking at them and using them. I live on an island where there really aren't any antique stores or thrift stores. I often browse Shopgoodwill.com and Keh.com. Where else online can I find a place that sells or auctions vintage cameras?
Why do ebayers bid on items days before it ends? Ebay auctions are about bids but don't bidders have more of a chance to win if they wait till the end or maybe even sniping at the last second? Is there a strategy Im not seeing here with this method by letting their interest been known early on?
NASCAR FANS, I NEED YOUR HELP! Can you tell me if this car is worth the buy it now price? Serious answers only! I am thinking about buyuing this Dale Earnhardt Jr car for my husband. He is a huge fan and I do not think he owns this one. According to the listing this is 1 0f 600 and the BUY IT NOW price is $49.99 with an insured Shipping charge of $11.00. I could wait until the auction starts and maybe get it for less, but it might be sniped before I can place my final bid. IS it worth the buy it now price or should I chance it? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=110267848376&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=001
Proxy/sniping on ebay? So i just put a bid on a halloween costume and someone put in SIX bids after me, their price rising incrementally by like 50 cents or something until they were 50 cents above me. first off, are they using the proxy feature that allows users to protect against sniping (assuming their highest amount is higher than the sniper)? also, i want to lure them into a false sense of security by not doing the proxy feature that raises the price incrementally above them. during the last few minutes of the auction, i want to use that proxy feature to beat them. does that make sense? will it work? okay here, let me explain this again, during the last few minutes, i want to put in that proxy thing and start raising the price by like 50 cents above them. starting that bidding war later would mean i might get the item at a cheaper price ,right? and i would still win because of the proxy feature automatically bidding higher than them each time right?
Do you use Ebay any more? Business Week has an article about ebay. It says the company is going to have to change to fixed price sellers People are annoyed with sniping and it says this causes inefficiency in the auction market. I used ebay twice and was annoyed both times with the process. Do you still use ebay and will you continue?
Can somone sue me over a not paid item on ebay? I recently bid on an auction, and wanted to try out an ebay sniping program called JBidwatcher. I entered how much I wanted to bid, and selected the right auction, and then in the last 10 seconds it bid for me, and I won the item. Unfortunately, the program bid way more than I had entered! I explained to the seller that the software had glitched or something, and he threatened to sue me! I realize it is an inconvenience, but there is an option to offer the item to the second highest bidder for their maximum bid. I don't know why he isn't willing to do this. Would he have a chance in court over an issue like this?
