How Can You Defeat Ebay Snipers?
If you're bidding for items on eBay, sooner or later you'll 
end up having your bid beaten at the very last second by 
a "sniper". This can be a frustrating experience. In 
theory sniping is against the rules and you can report it 
to eBay. In practice, however, they never do anything 
about it.
The best way to beat the sniper is to become the sniper. 
Once you understand the process of sniping, you can use 
it to win more auctions, more often, and at a lower price 
than you would otherwise pay.
Sniping Manually
If you have a lot of time to spare and a reasonably fast 
Internet connection, sniping manually is not all that 
difficult. Make a note of the time when the auction you 
are bidding on will end. Then make sure you're sitting in 
front of the page at that vital last minute. Then just 
outbid the current winning bidder, or defend your own 
winning bid.
Here's a valuable tip to remember for manual sniping: 
make sure you set your maximum bid quite high. 
Otherwise you risk being automatically outbid, and the 
auction will have ended before you can bid again.
It's not worth your time to compete against someone 
who is using an automated sniping service. If their 
service is any good, they will always manage to outbid 
you. In the sniping arms race, you need to find a sniper 
on full auto.
Sniping In The Age Of Automation
If you enter "ebay sniping" into your favorite search 
engine, you'll find a long list of online services that will 
snipe on your behalf for a small fee. They usually offer a 
free trial, so give it a go.
If you don't want to pay each time for an online service, 
then you can buy sniping software outright -- for 
example, SnipeRight or ISnipeIt (just add a ".com" to the 
name to find them on the internet). You pay once and 
use them as much as you want.
After you've installed the software on your computer, 
you tell it which auctions you want sniped and the 
maximum amount you're willing to pay. The software 
then places your bid in the last few seconds of bidding. 
One drawback to this method is that you need to be 
able to leave your computer on nearly all the time, or 
you might miss the end of some auctions.
An Alternative To Sniping
If you're reluctant to lower yourself to "playing dirty," 
then there is another, more low-tech way to get around 
sniping. You can just email the seller and say that you 
were sniped at the last minute, but would really like the 
item. If they have another unit to sell, chances are 
they'll agree to sell it to you for the price at which the 
auction closed.
Good luck, good sniping, and good shopping.
