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!
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.
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 :)
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
Thank you for your fantastic feedback! 🎉 We're so happy to have been part of your auction success! Looking forward to serving you again soon! 💼
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.
We're over the moon 🌙 knowing that our service helped you secure your auction win! Your satisfaction is our ultimate goal! Thank you so much! 🎯
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
As a 23 year veteran eBayer with over 5,300 purchasres eSnipe has made me a successful buyer. Learning how to utilize such a tool has brought me treasures at a munimum of cost and a saving of time--and worry:-) particularly saving me from anxiety and disappointment (bid what you will and be satisfied, win or lose)!

We couldn't be happier to hear you had a great experience! 😊 Your support fuels our passion to keep delivering top-notch service! Thanks a ton! 🙏
Been a member of eSnipe for a long time now and I love this site. Because of eSnipe, my collection grew from the earlier days of eBay to present, and still growing.
Thank you for the glowing review! 🌟 It means the world to us knowing you had a great experience! We’re here to make your next auction win just as smooth! 🚀
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!
Your success is our success! 🏆 Thank you for your incredible review and for trusting us with your auctions. We're here whenever you need us! 💼
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.
We're so glad our service met your expectations! Your satisfaction is our top priority, and your feedback keeps us motivated! 💪 Thanks a million! 🎉
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.
Wow, we're so grateful for your kind words! 😊 It's fantastic to know our sniping tool hit the mark for you! Thanks for choosing us! 🎯
I cannot be there for auction endings, but Esnipe is! And it keeps me within budget, not getting caught up in bidding 'fever'...
Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing eSnipe! We're thrilled to hear that our service helped you save money and win auctions. Happy bidding!
I have used eSnipe for many years and it is such a time saver. It also keeps the price of the item down by bidding at the last minute. I have saved so much and it more than makes up for the cost. It is reliable as well.
You've made our day with your kind words and 5-star rating! We're here to make eBay bidding a breeze for you, and we're thrilled to have you as a happy customer.
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!
We're grateful for your 5-star review! It's customers like you that make us love what we do. Thank you for trusting eSnipe with your eBay bidding.
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.
Your 5-star review is a big boost to our team's morale! Thank you for choosing eSnipe, and we can't wait to help you win even more auctions in the future.
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.
We're doing a happy dance over here! Thank you for your support and the glowing 5-star review. We'll keep working hard to exceed your expectations at eSnipe.
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.
Thanks to esnipe owners, they make a huge work to constantly update the ebay API. Last time they last 20 minutes only to fix the inconsistency. Good job.
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.
ESnipe takes security very serious and responds in record time! I've enjoyed the use of eSnipe and now took the time to review them when they exceed my expectations. Thank you Support at eSnipe.
Answer: Yes you can bid, eSnipe doesn't know or care about your other bids - it only does the last 'snipe' you program it to. But if you do bid on an item you're telegraphing your interest in the item to other bidders. Doing a minimum bid does prevent the seller from modifying the listing so I guess if you want that you can enter your lowest bid and wait for your eSnipe bid to activate at the end of the auction.
Answer: Don't bid at 3 seconds, go 6 or 8 seconds If a bid is the same as yours then that means you bid second and the win goes to the First bidder, you would have waited for the last 3 seconds and become the second bid, Also, you cannot bid below the minimum next bid increment, I know it's we all want to safeguard paying too much but ebay wont charge you more than the minimum increment That only increases after the last bid amount. So go a few bucks more than your instincts or even 10 more, if you need the item because You wont pay over the last minimum increment anyway.
Answer: Yes. However, if eSnipe also places a bid you will be charged "bid points". ESnipe is basically a clone of you. That said, you cannot outbid yourself.
Answer: No, that is not true. I used eSnipe for four eBay auctions last night (and won them all!) And I just placed bid on three more eBay auctions, which end tonight.
Answer: Why don't you ask esnipe about your problem. I have no problems about esnipe and privacy breaches.
Answer: Unless your bowling you must be referring to paypal. You buy in advance user points from esnipe, how you pay them is your business, and you can not buy from ebay unless you have sufficient points.
Answer: The seller will ship the item straight to you. We just place your bid@ the last second. You will pay and enter your shipping information through eBay as usual. Please reach out using the Contact Us button on our website [ https://www.esnipe.com/contact] and include your phone number in your questions. We will be happy to give you a call!
Answer: Sorry for the delayed response. We just recently joined the SiteJabber community. When we created our site, we built it to support multiple auction websites. However, we only support eBay auctions (All of their websites). You can sign up and try our service for free!
Answer: Yes, I do it all the time. So that the seller doesn't think there's no interest and Add a buy it now and have somebody else get it before my bid is placed.
