Limited By Nothing

If you have been using eBay for a while, I’m sure at one point or another your bid has been beaten by someone at the very last second, causing you to lose on the auction. People who outbid you in the last second are called auction snipers. They can be quite an annoyance, but there’s a way you can beat the snipers and that’s by playing their game. Not to mention, if you become a good eBay sniper, you can use it to win auctions more often at a far lower price than you would otherwise.

Sniping The Manual Way

Sniping the manual way ain’t that hard, especially if you have a lot of time on your hands (Like me). Basically what you do is you write down when the auction you want to bid on is going to end and then five minutes before it does you sit down at the computer and defend the item! Try to outbid the current winner with your bid at the last few seconds.

One thing you want to make sure though is that when you fire your bid shot, you set your maximum bid high. If you don’t, you will most likely be outbid by the previous bidder and the auction will just end before you can counteract.

However, just like in real life, you cannot win against an auto sniper without losing more money than you should or without some hefty luck. Auto sniper services can outbid you without any problems, because unlike humans, they snipe just a half second before the auction ends. The only way you can beat auto snipers is by clashing them against their own weapon.

Automatic Sniping (OMG U NOOB)

If you search for “Ebay Snipers” on Google, you can find plenty of online services that offer automatic sniping for a small fee. However, if you do not want to pay for such services every time you want to win an auction, you might want to consider getting a sniping software, such as SnipeRight or iSnipeIt. Once you decided on a program to use, you just set what auction you want sniped, what is the maxium amount you want to pay, and you’re set!

Hopefully this guide helped you understand how eBay sniping works and gave you some ideas how to go about doing so. Good luck with your sniping endeavors!
