This guide is about how to have more FUN on Ebay. We like fun and we love sniping.

What is Sniping?

That is using an agent to sneak in during the final seconds of an auction and place a bid for you! Yes. It's like playing POKER...you see everyone else's hand but they do not see yours...and if you don't like the cards being played  -if the stakes get too high --you don't have to participate. You can withdraw your bid up until the last five minutes with no cost, no penalty, and no bad marks. Got to like that!

Now there are a number of companies offering snipe service. We only know about and only use e-snipe.

This company has a good reputation. You can try their services for free.

What are the Benefits of sniping?

• possible lower prices for you.
• you can have bids placed at odd hours.
• you can have a life...and let someone work for you for one quarter (up to $25 bid).
• you stay out of bidding wars.
• no win, no cost.
• no one knows your identity and interest until you bid. Great for collectors.
• you can set up bid groups..and bid on a numbers of items..and if you win one, all the other bids are cancelled..how cool is that?
• you can see the results of winning bids...and this history can help you get the lowest price.
• it makes you feel real smart...to out bid..those other guys.
• it brings out the killer instinct.
• you can delete your proxy bid..maybe you found a better deal...or changed your mind..

What are the drawbacks?

Sniping is FUN and terribly addictive,

Your friends and familymay quickly tire about hearing all your KILLER deals

The buyers you outsmarted won't like you very much

Every now and then the bid may not get placed  and you lose..by not bidding.

 We love it...
