I have been on eBay since 96 with a current account open since 2001 with an feedback of 5k and 100%. Been using sniper services to save time and money since they have been available and never had a security issue.

I actually thought using automated tools to snipe was a terms of service violation which could lead to your account suspension/termination.

Like I said in my original post, I can see the benefit of scheduling bids like that for higher volume buyers. I generally only do few auctions if that a month so not sure how much I would use it.
