    Hi Lads,
    I'm using Jbidwatcher for my mac, showed it to a friend of mine and she loved it. Unforunately she's on a PC so I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a similar program for Windows?
    Thanks
    Gary

    Does sniping even still work? They implemented that Maximum bid some time ago - so even if you do snipe the bid someone else may have a higher max bid and you will just be counter sniped via ebay itself.

    Yeah whats the advantage of a sniping program when you can use the max bid feature.... or is it more that you can wait till the last minute and possibly pick up a bargain if somebody doesn;t use max bid:confused:

    I use Auctionsniper (as per my sig) it comes very handy when you the auctions ends late at night, while working, etc the advantage of snipe is that in the case of Auction Sniper it will only bid 5 seconds before the auction ends so nobody will see you are interested till the last 5 seconds so if you outbid someone they will not have a chance to react and up their bid.

    If you use the max bid in ebay does the auction price go up to the max price as soon as someone puts a higher bid? Or if their bid is lower than yours the bid price will show their max bid?


    In my case no need to have PC on or near a PC to bid and also free if you refer other users to register on their website.
