When sniping through a bid group, its kind of a pain to develop the potentially dozens of snipes one might have.

To set up one bid group recently with 25 or so snipes, I customized my ebay search result page to display the item number, cut/pasted the items numbers into word, added a column for my snipe bid (identical for all items) and an intervening column with a comma (","). Then I cut/pasted those three columns into your multiple-snipe screen.

This worked much better than trying to do each snipe line individually, but it was still rather clumsy. Plus I had to do the "add multiple-snipes" three times because of the 10-snipe limit.

If you guys had a method to steamline this process, expecially for bid groups, that would be great.

Have you tried "Import Wizard" (see "My Snipes" page)?

I used to use Import Wizard, but now find Snipe-it-Now much more convenient.

The problem with IW in this case is that I would first have to add all 25 or so 25 auctions to my ebay watch list. Then, when I do the import I also get all the other unrelated auctions I'm also "watching". Then I'd have to enter all the snipe prices, even though they are all the same. Then I'd have to go back to ebay and delete all those watched auctions (since I really don't want to "watch" them).

Its an altenative method, but not really even as convenient as the current "add multiple-snipes" page, IMO.

It might be nice to have a default bid amount; like the default lead-time. It’s come up before that it’s a hassle to key in the bid amount for several auctions. You might try sending your suggestion to: suggestions@auctionsniper.com

It doesn’t hurt to ask, and the more that ask, the more likely it will happen.
