Has your snipe explanation page gotten you very many free referral snipes?
I doubt it. None that I know of.
I wrote it years ago in a different version and posted it as a link from an aboutMe page for another ebay ID. I got a few emails about it but no referrals. Later, AuctionSniper quit paying referrals so I don't now if the text got any interest.
A few months ago I updated it a bit and added it as a link in my signature when posting a few comments in the forum here under this ID, but I never got back to finish improvements on it.
This week when I posted to this thread I looked at it again and almost dropped the signature link. It's too long and wordy for current styles of communication.
What do you think? Should I cut it down, extend it, drop it, leave it alone? Did it entertain you? What works? What doesn't?
Does anyone care that eBay is a Sealed Bid auction and that sniping is the only way to submit a Sealed Bid efficiently?
Does Auction Sniper care about its unique feature of doing snipes in the mature audience area?
(To contribute to this thread, which is about this aspect, I'll add that I'm here visiting the forum to check if anyone else is experiencing lost snipes in the mature audience area. I've submitted a ticket reporting that some registered snipes in the mature audience area did not not execute. Counter to my comments above from a few days ago, I'm now seeing that every one of my registered snipes in the mature audience section are failing to execute. This is the first time this has happened. A few days ago, it seemed like it might be a server down that caused a snipe to not be executed, but now there is enough experience by me to not trust that AS can execute a snipe in the mature audience area.
Will AS accept this inability to execute bids in the mature audience area as the new product spec, or will AS consider their unique ability to support snipes in the mature audience area a key product spec and work toward having it work? It's a holiday weekend, so it's too early to tell. Support so far has given inconsistent and unclear responses.)
