I'm a UK ebayer whose particular interests generally mean that the items I want are usually in the US. Of course, that also means that many of the auctions are finishing in the small hours of the morning UK time.
I can't wait up for these so I have been placing early bids (and losing).
Also, I am often absent from home and can't get to a computer - and I do have to go out sometimes to buy food and other such unnecessaries!
Again, this has meant early (and unsuccessful) bids.
I've just found Auction Sniper. I've tried it. And on the very first try I won!
I can see that this is going to be a great advantage for me - well done to you all, this is a great service.
