I have been using auctionsniper for years but recently have noticed that it bids earlier and earlier (18 seconds today and I lost!). I know ebay has busy times and auctionsniper likes to put in a bid rather than missing out, but I have been experimenting with another sniper and it bids when it says it does, ie in the last 3 seconds. I tried both snipers together, auctionsniper bid at 10s and the other at 2 seconds. I think I wont be using auctionsniper much anymore, I know I may miss the odd bid but I doubt it will be many. Its a shame auctionsniper doesnt give you the option to remove the early bidding option.
