Yes, what is an "anti-sniping service."
Is the idea to overwhelm the server with incremental bids so that the
"snipe" can't get in edgewise?
Another voice in praise of sniping.
I use it quite a lot and it often works...
I suppose you might consider it a "shock and awe" tactic.
It might catch othe

As a gold powerseller with 1500 open ebay auctions I
should know these things but can somebody explain to
me what an "anti-snipe service" is and how it works?

Boy,
I wonder if this thread is about me... :-)
I agree with Gregory on this. Bid the max you're willing to pay. Sometimes
when I'm at the edge of my budget I'll pass on a few auctions. Only to find
later that no other bids were placed and that the item sold way under what I

Hi Mike,
Just bid your highest bid the first time and forget it. If you win, you
win. If you don't, via sniping or otherwise, well you weren't going to bid
any higher anyway so what difference does it make whether the other person's
bid was entered 10 hours, 10 minutes, or 10 milliseconds before

Hi Mike and all,
It is frustrating to get "sniped" but I find it necessary to bid this way. A
lot of the meteorite auctions are from the US and tend to end 2 am to 5 am
my local time. I am asleep when the auctions end. The only sure fire way I
can ensure a bid is placed is by using a sniping servi
You could always bid high enough where this won't happen.
Most people are afraid to go that extra 1.00. Try it, it may work for
you! But really, not much you can do about it. That's life.
