Ebay wil automatically raise your bid to match the other until someone bids more than your maximum." THIS ADVICE SERVES THE SELLER, NOT THE BUYER!! Maximum bid and if someone pays more than the maximum bid, good for them. If ***catman*** were here, he'd teach you better than I could. I know your disappointment, all because no one told you, you could snipe. Be bold, go get what you're after! And my advice is from experience. Don't let anybody tell you you're a cheapskate bidder or anything like that either! It's more of your money they want, that's fine, but it's more bang for your buck YOU want.and that's every bit just as fine. You'll sleep better, spend less money, and live better. If you pout when you lose on an auction, then don't place any bids in auction formatted listings choose Buy It Now listed items instead. My advice is this: learn to snipe (if you want to win), there's nothing wrong about it at all, it won't get you in trouble with ebay, in fact great sellers here usually welcome great snipers because they typically pay up faster, it is no different than holding your cards close to your chest in a card game, see?

You will need to copy/paste (or write down and then enter) the item number of the thing you want to win: then you enter it, along with the absolute top you're willing to pay for it, over on the sniping service page.Ħ. It's completely ethical and is the only sane way to shop ebay auction formats.ĥ. You're paying them to set their two servers to "torpedo" ebay's server FOR YOU.Ĥ. Pay them $6 or whatever for a year's "mirrored" subscription.ģ. Betty9080, I'm a buyer so I'll tell you what they won't:Ģ.
