Tired of missing the bid at eBay?

You all know that I sell on eBay from time to time. Mostly it's curriculum or other books, but sometimes I sell home decor items or clothes. I also bid from time to time on things for gifts or my own use. It's really aggravating to be trying to bid in the last seconds of an auction and have this slow dial-up mess me up so that I miss the auction item.

This might be a good time for me to sign up for a bid sniper program. I don't have a doubt that others have used it on my auctions because of how close together some ending bids are. I can easily see where using it would ensure that I win the auctions I really want to win.

According to the Bidnapper site, you can snipe eBay auctions to:
  • Win more auctions, your competition won't have time to respond
  • Protect your username from searches by your competition
  • Change or delete your bids without the eBay hassle
  • Hold prices down by not bidding throughout the auction
  • Use the proxy system to advance your bid just enough to win an auction
  • Place your bids automatically, in any currency, while you do other things


This would mean I wouldn't have to be sitting here bidding at the exact time the auction is winding down. I can't always be sitting here because of work scheduling and other things I need to be doing.

Right now, the service is free for 15 days to see how you like using it. You can read studies to see how effective this sniper option is. You can pay monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually and it's a flat rate fee, not based on the auction prices or wins.
