Brian McQueenHi Quan,
I've always been strongly against using any sort of automated sniper. In my experience, they just plain don't work with enough consistency for me to trust. They'll work fine for you one day, then the next day, I'll access my account with the sniper service and I'll find that the sniper couldn't place a bid due to an "invalid entry" or some other goofy reason. They've been a large pain to me a few times in the past and I will not go back to them.
Up until very recently, just entering a snipe manually with about 20-30 seconds left has always worked. But perhaps Ebay really is having some sort of difficulty as several people have responded to this thread stating problems they've had with Ebay lately as well. Something weird is going on though. On that e90-3 Chance, when I clicked "Place bid" the page didn't even act as though it was trying to load a new page. It just sat there and did nothing.
I've tried a couple snipe services in the past. Sometimes they work, other times they don't. One was Snip at http://www.snip.pl/en/. I can't remember the name of the other one, Esnipe or something like that I believe.
