I am curious if anyone here has used this except me. I know that I have mentioned it before...but no comments were ever made.
IMO, it is the only way to go on an Ebay auction. It is so easy...you just put in the auction number, your top price you are willing to pay, and it will bid for you in the last few seconds of the auction. It is completely separate from Ebay. You don't have to be there by the computer waiting either....no emotional bidding....and no one will see that there is interest on the item (thus lower bidding) if there are not that many bidders. Sometimes I see an auction go up, up, up just so others can outbid eachother...even if the auction is days away from ending.
Also, if you want to cancel bidding on that item, all you have to do is cancel in through esnipe within 5 minutes of the auction's end....with ebay you can't cancel a bid or it is heavily frowned upon.
I have only done auctions this way for the past three or so years...and have only lost a couple of auctions. The only reason I did lose them, is because the end bids went over what my comfort zone price was, so it was OK anyway.
It is free the first two weeks, for however many auctions you want to input in there. After that, it is 1% of the auction price. So for a $100 auction, it would cost one dollar.
Heck of deal for less stress, and less overall auction cost, the way I see it!
