Guide Review - eBay Snipe at AuctionSniper
Using services or programs to snipe eBay auctions at the last second has become very popular. There are differing views on the issue, and a lot of members object to the practice saying that it gives some bidders an unfair advantage. Whatever your beliefs are on auction sniping, the cold reality is that it happens often on eBay. AuctionSniper.com is one of many services that does the sniping for you for a small fee. This script is a nice addition for members of the service as it adds a conveniently placed link to all active auctions which brings you directly to a Snipe It Now! form containing the current listing's item number. AuctionSniper.com offers a free trial if you would like to see exactly how it works and, if you are not against this controversial method of bidding, a membership combined with this script may be worth a shot.
