AuctionStealer

If you’re not sure what all the fuss about sniping is, AuctionStealer is a great place to find out. Its simple interface is easy to follow and you can view items that are waiting to be bid on so you can see which may have already gone beyond your maximum bids.

You need to be a Priority Service customer to snipe an unlimited number of items each month, but the rest of us will be happy to place up to 15 snipes per month free of charge. Naturally, there are some drawbacks to the free service, such as advertising screens to bypass and locked features. The worst of these is having to cut and paste auction numbers into the snipe box to set up a bid. However, these are worth taking the time to use to get access to a great tool for casual eBayers.
