my internet connection just stalled on me when I was going to put in my final bid... by the time I was able to put in the bid... the auction was over.

I had that happen to me on an auction a month ago... my internet stalled for 8 mins, auction ended in 8 mins, and as I was bidding I lost it.

I was very frustrated.

As a dial up user this used to happen to me quite frequently.
Now I use a snipe service and its been great.

Only 1 lot didn't register. But 1000 or so have...jay

Joe,

Here is a link to a service I use. Puts an automatic bid in for you at around 5 seconds remaining in the auction. That way, it takes your emotions out of your bidding and also prevents others from running up your bids. $10 gets you $1000 in snipe service and you can purchase more credits directly from your Paypal account.

Best Regards,

a snipe service is a party that will bid for you. (in the last seconds of an auction)

go to www.justsnipe.com and you can get 5 free snipes per week.

for a nominal fee 5.00 you get unlimited I think.

I use them and they have never failed me

To think... I could have went out and enjoyed my morning.

instead, I waited for the last minute of an auction- only to find that I couldn't put my bid in (internet connection).

frustrating.

A sniping service is very helpful...but about 2% of my "esnipe" bids don't go thru [especially on Sunday nights]and that can sometimes be very annoying. Jay W. can tell you of the T3 Matty I lost that way.

I see that these snip services ask for your eBay login and password...

any concerns with sharing that info?
