ESnipe is very convenient to add an auction and make an honest attempt to win. Whether it's overnight in the wee hours of the morning, while I'm at work, or if I'm not available to "babysit" an auction. You have been about 99.9% successful over the years.
Thank you!

Like having my personal automated drone...
March 31, 2025
Updated review

I am constantly looking for good deals on items I want to add to one of my collections, and watch a large number of sales on eBay. I compare from various sellers and narrow down as often as I can to one Buy-It-Now. And that is when I line up auctions that I think can't net me a better deal. I have many factors that go into which ones reach eSnipe Status. As I get a selection, I put in what my max bid will be and move on to the next one. Lots of people overbid, so I certainly do not win everything. But it is nice to be able to "Set it and forget it". The cost of buying points for use in bidding (no deduction for not winning) is low. And if I find that I am going to be online at the end of the auction, I always have the option of cancelling my snipe in favor of manually sniping. But keep in mind that network traffic can be heavy and can thwart that effort. Having an eSnipe has no such issue. The only minor downside is that you cannot add an eSnipe in the last two minutes. But this only becomes an issue if you have multiple auctions ending at the same time that are not already being eSniped. In conclusion, for me, I would buy much less and have fewer opportunities without eSnipe.

Usually, I will use eSnipe when I know that I will not be available at the end of an auction. I do not want to bid hours or days ahead, because it will surely raise the final bid higher than it would be otherwise.

The tweaks that would make it better, in my opinion, would be:

1. Being able to add a snipe closer than the 2-minute limit ahead of the end of the auction. This may be tied to an eBay requirement, so there may not be anything that can be done. But at least I can cancel a snipe right up to the end of the auction.

2. Being charged 30 sniping points for winning bibs that are less than $30. There is really no good reason to do this. I avoid sniping some things because it otherwise uses up too much of my reserve, over time.

Despite the need for tweaks, this has been an invaluable piece of software for me.

Don't Ebay Without It!
April 14, 2024

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 :)

Very Useful
March 24, 2024

Have used them many times in the past. Always found the service easy and intuitive to use.
Their short buffer allows a better chance of grabbing what you want at a better price. Finally you do not need to sit at your screen waiting and watching and second guessing what is going to happen. If your bid with esnipe is suffictent you improve your chances

I've been using eSnipe for YEARS. The sniping part is great, but I mainly use it because I ALWAYS forget to watch the auctions when they're ending. This way, I'm not bidding up the price. Esnipe catches the ending for me.

If I lose an item on Esnipe It's because I did not bid high enough, and not because I wasn't fast enough that's not really a problem, as Sometimes I win more than I should but at least I'm winning, thank you Esnipe

I've been using eSnipe for over a decade and have saved a TON of $$$. While they can't guarantee that my bid will be the highest, they can level the playing field by making sure that my "best and final" bid is judged equally with those of competitors. Otherwise, competitors would just nickel and dime up their own bids, in and effort to smoke out my "best and final." The only alternative is setting my watch, placing my bid manually, and hoping I don't have a conflict when the auction is ending. My time is worth a lot more than that!

The more bidders that know about Esnipe, the more it will cost me. Esnipe is the only way I place a bid on Ebay. I get a kick out of watching bidders just run up the cost. Usually the single digit bidders. They have no idea of what their bidding practices just cost them. I like to think about the very most I would be willing to pay for something, enter a bid with Esnipe, and forget about it. If I win a bid, I know I bought if for the least amount possible under the very maximum amount I was willing to spend. Hope this review doesn't cost me money to now smarter bidders.

Used for years
September 8, 2023

ESnipe has been an absolute game-changer for my online bidding experiences on eBay. Before I delve into the details, it's worth noting that while I haven't tried other bidding programs available in the market, they might be equally good or even better. However, my experience with eSnipe has been so positive that I haven't felt the need to explore elsewhere.

Here's why I wholeheartedly recommend eSnipe:

1. **User-Friendly Interface**: The platform is intuitive and easy to navigate. Even for someone who isn't particularly tech-savvy, setting up bids is straightforward and hassle-free.

2. **Reliability**: I've come to trust eSnipe implicitly. It has always placed my bids accurately and on time, ensuring I don't miss out due to any technical glitches.

3. **Bid Timing**: eSnipe's precision in bid timing means I've often been successful in clinching deals at the last moment, without unnecessarily hiking up the price or getting involved in bidding wars.

4. **Cost-Effective**: The nominal fee eSnipe charges is a small price to pay considering the convenience it offers, and the potential savings from avoiding overbidding.

5. **Excellent Customer Support**: On the rare occasions I've reached out, their support team has been swift to respond, thoroughly professional, and very helpful.

In conclusion, while there might be other great tools out there, eSnipe has given me a seamless and efficient eBay bidding experience. It's eradicated the need for late-night bid placements and reduced the anxiety of potentially missing out on coveted items. If you're an avid eBay shopper, I'd certainly recommend giving eSnipe a try.

Over the last 5 or 6 years, I've been using eSnipe. I can't count how much money they have saved me. I hated putting in bids before going to bed, because they often got topped. I was losing a lot of good cards until I signed up with eSnipe. Also, by last second bidding with eSnipe, you not only save money, but you also stop those shill bidders from bidding up the item. Love, love, love eSnipe!

Incredible service
July 28, 2022

I will do my first snipe with them tomorrow but have had an incredible experience with the customer support. I've been on the phone with Mike for 1 hour and 7 minutes while he answered all my questions, explained to me the inner workings of their servers, the latency (only 200ms +-) and redundancy they have in place. He also explained to me how ebay works and the auction system as well as their statistics when it comes to different buffer times and win percentages. Absolutely incredible.

GREAT COMPANY
January 25, 2022

I have used eSnipe for years and have had only a small handful of problems. In the past I would set my bids for the last 2 seconds of the auction and occasionally would miss a bid, very seldom. You can set your bids and go on with your day or go to bed and wake up with an eSnipe win on your bid. Super convenient and you can do multiple bids at one time. Hard To Beat! I will continue to use this great service as it has worked like a champ for me.

They don't give a sh*t
August 14, 2020

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've used eSnipe a dozen times and have always been satisfied, even though there are free sniping sites out there. However, on my last bid, as I watched the seconds tick down expecting eSnipe to place the bid for me... nothing happened. Then I went to their site, which was down. When I spoke to customer service they blamed an eBay connection (which is a lie) and never updated the problem on their server status page (keeping members in the dark that they ever had a problem). They did admit during this conversation that this technical glitch happened to many customers of theirs. They were very dismissive about it like "this comes with the territory of placing bids in the final seconds". That's your job! Now they are refusing to refund my remaining "bid point" balance of $10 which I will NEVER use because I would never trust them again.
