Never miss another or get pipped again... I thought everyone knew about this! It is free, legal and works a treat. All you have to do is create an account/register, enter the ebay auction number (just a straightforward cut and paste), enter the maximum dollar amount you wish to spend to attain/win the item and at however many seconds to run (usually about 5-8 seconds to go) it proxy bids on your behalf up to your maximum amount you specified. The idea I guess is to not show your hand at bidding until the very last moment before the hammer fall. You can still be outbid if someone bids higher than you, even if they are bidding through the ebay mechanism and not using just snipe service.
Sorry from the outset if I have ever outbid any of you using that web service. It is useful I am going to be doing something else when the auction finishes to at least get a bid on at the last moment, or if I just plain forget to get back to ebay before the item finishes. I think you get 5 items free I month to bid on, I think you have to pay something (or upgrade your account) or similar to access over 5 snipes/month.
Now, is it legal - yes as it is effectively just a proxy service that you direct how much you wish to bid on an item. Is it moral - that depends on you, but in this dog eat dog world we live in it could give you an edge... As I mentioned, I thought just about everyone knew about it by now.
