Bid sniping – including the use of software that places bids for you – is allowed on eBay, but it doesn't guarantee you'll win an auction. Other members may be using the same tactic, could have set up automatic bidding, or may simply react quickly and place a higher bid before the auction ends.

Tip
Instead of bid sniping, you can set up automatic bidding for listings where you want to maximize your chances of winning.

Automated bid sniping software

Many websites and software packages offer automated bidding based on the end time of an eBay auction. They try to place your bid automatically just before the auction ends, and some try to synchronize with eBay servers to make sure your bid is the winning one.

1. What's the best sniping tool? Getting back into ebay after a long hiatus. Looks like auto sniping is becoming more commonplace than it was when I left ebay a few years ago (after discovering that most of the things I wanted I could find on Craigslist with less stress and only a slightly higher chance of getting murdered).

When you sign up with third party providers that offer automated bidding, you should make sure they are trustworthy before entrusting them with any personal data, like your eBay password. Remember, you're responsible for any information you give to third party services.

Best Ebay Sniper Software

Who sells the best eBay sniping program? I have won a lot of auctions with it. I used to do the manual sniping on eBay and would get all nervous about it going through in time or getting outbid. This is a bid and forget app. Best snipe was with two seconds to go when I hit the key.and won. Sniping programs will NOT beat a nuclear bid.
