Hi,
I have recently won two auctions using Auction Sniper and I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to why it is placing two bids at the same time? I know I have only entered in one snipe for each auction yet it seems to be bidding twice. So I am wondering if anyone has any ideas as to why this is happening for?

Thanks
Erica

Erica,

AS always places multiple bids from multiple servers (up to 4 the last I heard). They do this so that if one server is having a problem, your snipe still goes in. ebay is not suppose to allow multiple bids from the same bidder for the same amount, but sometimes AS' servers place them so close together that ebay doesn't have time prevent it.

From what I have read - AS (Auction Sniper) places your bid from 4 different servers at once to ensure your bid gets through OK - I'd say 2 of yours landed at the same time.

Your win price didnt increase did it?

You didnt have a proxy bid in as well or anything?

Hi Lexie,
My win price did not increase and I never bid on eBay anymore. I only use Auction Sniper for bidding and 99.9% of the time win my auctions Smile. I always place everything in watch then on the day that it is ending I always snipe it.

Kind Regards
