How to Avoid Losing to eBay Snipers


Sniping occurs when a bid is about to end. Some



yahoo rushes in and bids a little higher than the



highest bid as the clock runs out of time – winning



the bid. Sniping is against the rules at eBay, but it



doesn’t slow the snipers down! In most cases, even



if you report it, the sniper will get away with it, and



you will have lost the item that you wanted to win



so badly. Unfortunately, in order to avoid losing the



items you want to snipers at eBay, you have to



take on the sniper mentality. You also need to



snipe in a way that will not violate eBay’s rules.





Snipping can be done in one of two ways. The first



way is the safest, but not necessarily the easiest.



Simply keep up with the item you are bidding on.



Make a note of the date and time that the auction



will end, and make sure that you are in front of your



computer and logged into the auction well before that



specific time. The objective is to either bid higher than



the highest bid during the last few seconds – which is



what snipers do - or to simply make sure that you are



not outbid by a sniper.





Remember that sniping is against the rules, so you



should log in about thirty or forty five minutes before



the bidding ends, and get your bid up until it is the



highest bid. At that point, all you need to do is to



keep an eye out to make sure that nobody else



raises the bid. If you’ve been logged in for a while,



this cannot be considered sniping.





Using this method, you must be aware of automatic



bidders. It is very hard to bid against people who use



bidding software. That software has been designed for



the purpose of snipping, and your chances of



outbidding the software manually are very slim –



which leads us to the second method of snipping



– Snipping services.





Snipping services are very easy to find online, and



they are relatively inexpensive. You can also



purchase your own snipping software. If you want to



become a sniper, purchasing your own software is



usually the best way to go if you bid on a lot of items.



You just set up the software, tell it which auction to



watch and what the highest price you are willing to



bid is, and let it do the work - just remember that it



is against the rules, and while eBay seldom enforces



this rule, you will be running the risk of getting



banned from eBay.





Sniping is bad if someone does it to you, but if you



use it yourself to win bids, it can be a wonderful thing.



On the other hand, it may not be very ethical.



Outbidding someone is one thing, sniping is



something altogether different!
