I know this posting won't be on here long so read it while you can.
As an ebay seller I am not often a buyer but was asked to bid on an auction for a friend in the UK who was unable to bid. I was all set to bid on the item when I received a business call that would take me away from my computer at the time I needed to bid on the auction. I remembered that I had 3 free snipe bids coming to me from this site so I set up my bid snipe to bid up to $45. (maximum my friend would pay)on an item that was at $10.49 and a little while later left for my appointment. I felt safe thinking that Auction Sniper would carry out the bidding as instructed in my absence. Imagine my dismay when I just returned home and found that the bidding had ended at $10.49 and I was not the winner. I checked my email next and found a message from Auction Sniper saying it didn't bid because of invalid password. Why would this feeble A.S. system allow me to set up the snipe bid and show a green Ready light for 1/2 hour before I left. I think this is Totally Unacceptable. I will never use this junk again and will make sure and tell all my friends not to use it. I feel like raising the opening bid price on all my listed ebay items just to get back at anyone using Auction Sniper, but that's not fair to those buyers that are smart enough not to use this useless system. Maybe I'll just check with my power seller buddies to see if I can put the words "Auction Sniper Blows" on all my auctions. Well that's enough for now I have to formulate a letter to my friend in the UK
