Auto-refresh of current bid showing on My Snipes

OK, just discovered that browser refresh doesn't work but clicking Updates does; surely I don't have to hang around and click Updates for AuctionSniper to warn me of outbids etc.?

No, you don't! That is for you only. AS is keeping track and is exactly sinced with Ebay so relax and enjoy!

How can I be sure that AuctionSniper is keeping a close track of the current latest bid?

They don't very well. That's why it's a *must* to enter your maximum max. Browser refresh does NOT update latest bid prices, it only updates the time till auction end. You must hit the 'Update Prices' button... and it's only avaliable every 5 minutes.

If you want to watch the end of auction you must do it at ebay. Also check out the following links.

>Click< This link occationally comes up 'Page Not Avaliable' for me, so here is another.

You will have to copy and paste this one. Posting as a link adds an underscore and becomes ...java_script....

Oh, and also remember you can not modify or delete a snipe in the last 2-3 minutes of an auction !!

Thanks for this. I can see it is important to enter my max. bid from the start.

Therefore the 'reminder to let me know if my current max bid. is exceeded' feature of AuctionSniper - how often is that refreshed if I am neither on eBay nor AuctionSniper but just receiving my email?

It gets more frequent as auction end comes. Only once a day to start, then every few hours the last day. Maybe more often durring the last hour. Not sure.

Yes, that is THE key to sniping--you only get one shot, so make it count!

Chatter, you are turning into a very clever poster!!

lmao!!!

Hey Puppy,

I love your little puppies. Care to share with the rest of us just how you do that? I'd love to give it a try.

Thanks! -Janie

Hi Janie

Posting a picture.

• Locate a picture on the web (gif or jpg only)
• Right click picture
• Click properties
• Triple click web address (URL) to highlight
• CTRL + C to copy
• Click cancel to close window
• In reply window click on the tab.
• Position cursor in form and press CTRL + V to paste
• Click OK

That's it for posting a picture in a reply.

Using the tab puts IMG tags at the beginning and end of the picture URL. In your reply it would look something like this.

[IMG]http://pictureURL.gif[/IMG]

Note that the start and end IMG tags are NOT the same.
Seems complicated, but once you do it a few times it gets allot easier. Note that not ALL gif or jpg files work, but most do.

If you would like to add a message (which can include a picture) to the end of each post:

• Copy picture URL as above
• Click the tab
• Select My Space --> Profile
• Click Edit Profile
• Scroll to bottom of inner window and enter your message or picture into the 'Signature' area.
• Click Submit

You will notice that the helpful picture tab is absent, so you will have to add the IMG tags manually or enter into a reply and copy and paste them to the Signature box. No spaces allowed between tags. (One last thing to check, almost done)

• Click the tab
• Select My Space --> Preferences
• Check the box for 'Use Signature on Posts Automatically.
• Click Submit

Thanks, Puppy, for being so generous with your know-how! Now, all I need is a practice site!
Thanks again. -Janie
