I also recently started using Gavelsnipe and have been very satisified with it. Its only drawback as far as I can tell, and it's a minor one, is that you can only bid using a single ebay account, whereas eSnipe (the pay sniping service I also use) allows you to bid using different ebay accounts.

Gavelsnipe has worked very well for me and I now wonder how long the other sites will be able last if they continue charging a fee for sniping.

Do they go ahead and buy the item for you anyways? Or do they do the same thing the free sites do and say sorry about that, we'll try to make sure it doesn't happen again? Gavelsnipe places bids from two different servers to help ensure 99.99% placement success. I have used them dozens and dozens of times on both ebay and Heritage without fail. Rich Halegua who runs a competing auction site gives similar testimony as do many others. I can not speak of Gixen as i have never tried them, but why would why when I have a completely free sniper that has never failed? -----Original Message----- From: William Scott [mailto:wscott19...@aol.co.uk] Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2012 12:31 AM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] Sniping I have been burned in the past by free sniping websites. Their servers are too unreliable and there's zero customer support. Gavelsnipe and Gixen immediately come to mind. Their both free and they both totally suck. ~WS -----Original Message----- From: Richard C Evans <evan...@mac.com> To: MoPo-L <MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU> Sent: Sat, Oct 20, 2012 10:52 pm Subject: Re: [MOPO] Sniping Use BidTamer, have paid but at the moment using the free version. By paying fee snipe buffer can be reduced to 3 seconds, free version is minimum of 10 seconds. Also, with free version there's a limited number of snipes, think it's 3 a week.

I used to use one that charged but have lately switched to another site that is totally free. Just wondering if any of you use sites that charge a fee for sniping and, if so, do they give you anything extra that the free sniping sites dont?
