Ebay bid sniper app?

[Arazi4442]

Does anyone not use sniper apps? Am I the only one who just pays attention to my watchlist and bids accordingly?

Another vote for Gixen here. I've been using it for a couple of years with no problems.

You can use it free for up to 4 winning snipes a month. But it's only $6 a year for an unlimited service.

I have always just bid the highest amount that I was willing to pay and let the chips fall where they may. As a result of that - I have, over the years, become more of a seller than a buyer on eBay. I would much rather do an offer on an eBay BIN or purchase elsewhere (Net54 BST).

I am like you. I like to put in small place holder bids early & just watch my bidder lists as auctions near their closing.

Never felt the need to use a sniper app.

I like to bid "live" as you describe but using Gixen to schedule a bid in case I forget is really useful. There are other times when auctions are ending in the middle of the night or during the day when I'm in work meetings that means a snipe app is the only choice.

Unfortunately, putting a bid for the highest I want to pay, doesn't work well. There are a number of times when I've done that and someone bids just over my price at the list minute.

I would say that if it was really the highest you want to pay, it’s working perfectly.
