I have been using eSnipe for several years and have never had a problem with it placing last-second bids for me. It allows me to blindly place bids to my limits on items that I want, well ahead of auction ending times. This allows me to not only carefully research and consider my bids, but to relax and not have to watch for the closing minutes of the auctions. It is always nice to get my emails from eSnipe, saying that I have another win :)
They don't give a sh*t and when you want to finally cancel the crummy service, they offer a credit for unused points, but then refuse to follow-through. ESnipe started out with potential, but there are so many better sniping services out there now. I think eSnipe was sold a few times and is currently operated by one guy in his underpants in his mom's basement. Try Bidslammer. It's free and uses multiple servers.
I lost a bid that was significantly higher than the winning bid for a rare discontinued item.
This was reported as "ebay connection problem" and that I should read the server report.
This page is loaded with reports of this problem and the only recourse esnipe is willing to
Do is give bid points to the customers who lost auctions from this server glitch that is clearly
From esnipe's side.
How about making up the difference of having to purchase the item at a higher price than the auction winning price.
This is all too clear that esnipe is not as reliable as they boast on their page.
Tip for consumers:
It's a gamble that not only will your bid be high enough but will
esnipe be able to successfully execute it .
Those odds are too high for me.
I suggest a software option, at least if you don't win it will be solely by
your own doing.
By automatically placing your bids at the last possible moment, eSnipe allows you to rest easy, knowing that your competitors will have no time to react to your bid.
