Perhaps my wording is wrong. However, all of you experts, how does one snipe (bid at very last second) on an e-bay item?
Thanks

Re: Ebay Sniping
You have to sign up for a snipe service. They will ask you how much you want your bid to be, at what point you'd like them to check back at the auction to make sure that you bid would still be able to win, and then at what point you'd like your bid to "fire" (3 seconds, 30 seconds, 10 seconds before end etc)...
then, sit back and watch!

Re: Ebay Sniping
I snipe the old fashioned way.
Got to the auction (with a few minutes left) and place your max bid, stop before hitting the final Confirm Bid button.
Now open another window and go the auction to keep track of time. There's a little Refresh button near the price and you can hit that every so often until you get down to the end. With a few seconds left, just open your other window and click Confirm.Greg

Re: Ebay Sniping
Yankwood - you wont be disappointed...they work so well that a few weeks ago I bought a bat because I forgot that I had set a snipe and forgot to cancel it.
Best of luck!

Re: Ebay Sniping
Well, I had my first sniping experience. It worked great, though, I was shockingly outbid by one person. Normally, I don't bid huge amounts. Though, I must be honest and say I was shocked to see I was outbid, as I bid about 2 times my estimated value of the item. Oh well, at least it was so much that I certainly don't feel sick missing out on it."We need rebirth of the American tradition of leadership ... in private life as well."
