Does anybody use sniping tools on Ebay and can anyone recommended one?

I am fed up losing auctions in the last few seconds.

Jim thanks so if you don't use them what do you do if you particularly want the item and sombody puts in a bid in the last 5 seconds?

It is all a strategy ....

I wait till the last 30 seconds and if the item is still not more than I am prepared to pay I type in my amount ...
( you must think about what is the most you are prepared to pay and not what you think you might pick it up as bargain .... )

You then click on the bid and it will show how much you bid and have a button to confirm .... I wait till the last 2 seconds and click .( I usually calculate that on a clock on the seconds hand before I submit the first bid ).. this give no one any chance to top your bid ..

If you miss it then you miss it but you have said what you are prepared to be the top money you would spend so that is it ...

If you win in most cases it is a dollar or two above the price before you bid ....

If you can't be at a computer when the item is ending then a sniping tool is handy.

Thanks Jim, that's great.

And, have you any tips on selling as I haven't done that either.

Read up in the eBay forums. Plenty to learn there.
