    If you use eBay -- you really need this program
    I really like this program -- I copy the number of an eBay auction

    Paste it in the program and enter amount I want to pay

    It waits until the last seconds of auction and makes a bid

    https://www.ezsniper.com/ -- Set it and forget it!

    It can watch your auction and place your bid -- 24/7

    Some times you miss an auction -- lose track of time

    You are not caught up in a bidding frensie -- win most auctions

    Just won an auction --- it only cost me 10 cents

    I have heard that those "programs" can actually get you banned from Ebay if you are caught using them. Why don't you just play and bid like everyone else does.

    I don't know biggsie, I clicked on that link and my computer went crazy, there was warings that a program was trying to change my home page, a warning that a program was trying to change my search engine default. I had to go off line to make it stop and I am still getting that searh engine change warning about every 1mintues since I have been there and logged back on.

    While it sounds like a good idea, I'm loathed to give my Ebay information out to a site I'm not sure about.
    The same goes for these "Ebay toolbars" that are all over the place.

    I advise CAUTION with this product.

    I actually learned about this site back when I had dialup connection

    I would see something I wanted but ended up in a battle at the end

    Very time consuming and frustrating to work with dial up and beaten

    By high speed internet, now I place a bid and forget it

    Like I said biggsie, the best way to do Ebay is just keep bidding until you win. Dial up doesn't stop me from winning auctions. I just don't try and be a cheapskate and winning everything. Sometimes I am outbid, but oh well, guess it was not meant for me to own.

    I wouldn't use it if I were you even if you like it as it could hijack a lot of sensitive info from your computer and you don't know it.

    I am not a cheapskate as you suggest -- I bid what I feel an item is worth to me...

    I used to set a timer and try to get in the bidding frenzie -- enter -- bid -- refresh

    Very frustrating being outbid -- most people just use eBay proxy bidding

    Can you tell me what the difference is between EBAY proxy and https://www.ezsniper.com/

    You enter a bid and eBay snipes it for you --- any answer

    It really is a relief to know I can bid when I want and not worry you

    I purchase allot of items from eBay and most of my purchases I snipe out. Meaning waiting for the very last second to make a bid and get it as cheep as I can get it. It would be nice to have a program that will help you out with it. I would like to know more about this program and your past and present experiences with it.

    I tried a similar program but eBay sent me a message one day and so after that I stopped using it. I have had my account closed for over a year because eBay messed up on my paperwork one time. It was so annoying to try and contact them but I eventually called and got though to someone who helped.
