If it wins, then it will stop and not bid on the remaining auctions. If it loses, it will attempt to win the next auction in the group. The sniping tool will continue to bid until it wins or runs out of auctions to bid on in your group. This feature is big time saver over having to watch and bid on each auction individually.ĮBay has a free tool called Bid Assistant that supports group bids. Unfortunately, it does not support sniping. Instead, it will place proxy bids up to your maximum bid when you create your group. You need a feedback score of 5 or more to use the tool. The advantage of using web-based sniping tools over their desktop counterparts is you don't need to leave your computer on and have to worry about synchronizing your computer time with eBay time. Unfortunately, you have to give out your eBay user ID and password for the sniping service to bid on your behalf. Those of you that are security minded may be reluctant to part with this information.

However, you can avoid this problem by using a separate eBay buying account for sniping. Once all your sniping is done, you should change the password on your eBay account, just to be safe. There really isn't that much difference between the various sniping services.
