There's a 50% chance as either they will or they won't! Hopefully not !

Why would they stop sniping. EBay gets their money no matter what. There are many sniping places other than AS. I have sniped for years and so have many others. Nothing wrong with it. It's available to everyone.

AS did not just start operating last week. It has been around for years.

I bet they are more than just best friends. Since I am unable to set my sniping time for 1 second, as in the past, they both can run up the precentage bill on a bigger selling price. It is obvious that it is to their benefit.

If they were best friends they'd let AS have direct feeds which would simplify things - as it is, AS has to capture and interpret the eBay screens which is not easy, especially if ebay changes things even slightly.

I THINK THEY JUST DID.
A randon verification code must be entered on Ebay UK sites now (sniping software failed and Ebay response is below)
And Ebay just happen to be launching their own bidding software ***New - Bid Assistant***!!
Hello,
Thank you for writing us again. I understand that you are being asked to
enter a verification code while bidding on an item. I am sorry to learn
that this issue is still not resolved. I am happy to assist you further
in this matter.
We have introduced this security measure to prevent inappropriate use of
sniping softwares on eBay.
Why did we do this?
It has been brought to our attention that some members have been using
sniping softwares to place bids in the last minutes of auction and
outbid other members. The security confirmation is intended to prevent
such bids from being placed using sniping softwares by requiring a
manual input of the numbers displayed. A number of other eBay functions
also use a confirmation code to prevent their misuse. Security measures
like this are a common practice.
We can understand that it may be tedious to enter a code every time.
However, we are confident that these changes will restrict the usage of
sniping softwares to prevent members from bidding in the last seconds of
the auction.
I hope this information answers your question. Thank you for using eBay.
Kind regards,
Adam Boyle
