Do You Shop On Ebay Regularly?? Read This!!

[ashh]

Thought I might share this one.
It has never failed or let me down for the last 5 years I been using it.
It does not have any joining or membership fees (free version)
This is an ebay snipe program.
What you do is:
You enter the item number of what you want to buy, and your MAX bid amount.
The program waits until the last 5-10seconds of the auction and automatically places your max bid for you.
The program is run from a server, so you do not have to sit around and watch the auction.
You dont even have to be connected to the internet.
Prevents you from getting in a bidding war with someone.
You get 5 free snipe credits a month on free plan.
Its simple and it works.
This program has been around for a long time, and I have no affiliation with it whatsoever.

No adware or malware ( you dont even install anything on your pc! )
Free stuff is great, especially when it saves you time AND money!
Check it out for yourself

I don't use that one but another one. The tech gurus in the office warned me agains many of them as they had a bad reputation for security , malware etc. Some perform much better than others and some are just fronts for frauds

I don't know anything about the one you speak of but to anyone thinking of using them read reviews in reputable places and don't go outside the ones tested. Not up to date so don't know where to look.

Also there is no guarantee that you get a product if there is server issues and such so don't set the time limit too low just low enough that joe blow at home wouldn't have time to adjust his last bid in reation to yours.
I generally just place a single bid very late in the auction manually after doing a few refreshes to se how much latency there is in the system ( ISP, line, pc and ebay) usually a couple of seconds so bid about 20 seconds out to be safe.


Just looked - the one I have used occasionally is esnipe.com for the last 6 years odd But again a warning there is half a dozen with very similar names and they aren't the originals or kosher. They set up entry pages that look the same as the proper legitimate sites all to try and get paypal passwords, ebay passwords etc to take over your account and based in a offshore country you have little privacy law support. Hopefully this is a legitimate article in a respected paper for them and at least they have a real person who is known and will speak to the press

I don't know enough to recommend or warn anyone of particular ones and who knows what happens when they get taken over but if they are asking for too much detail and don't display good security and have reviews and so on don'touch em with a barge pole.

this one is legit, as I said, I been using it for around 5years and has never let me down yet....
as for security issues, just be sure to have different passwords for both ebay and paypal and you cant go wrong :D

Yeah a lot of people use the same names and passwords for everything from banks to websites and when it goes wrong it goes wrong big time. Pain to have different passwords but simple security.

I wasn't recommending mine or knocking yours just a general keep your eyes open and always check it out thoroughly as the fraudsters are bloody good at setting up the scams to look like valid sites and so on. Some are referal sites to honest sites and others are not.

Haven't been burn yet - touch wood but have seen inteligent careful friends who should know better get done in different scams - it even amazes tham how careless they were to get done over.
