It's quite easy:
One collects as many auctions for a certain item togteher in one folder and sets a "max" amount.
The rest is is done by AS
>> My logic is, once you place a bid you let others know you are interested in the auction item and then the price increases especially in the last few minutes. <<

It works this way if you do the bidding _manually_.
Totally different, however, if you let AS do the job for you: Then a bid is sent only in the very last seconds and others will hardly have a chance to raise their offer according to what was bid in your name.
One of the main advantages of AS lies therein.
>> I can not seem to figure out how to "Group Bid" without actually bidding on different auctions for same item and running the risk I wind up winning the item from multiple sellers. <<

No risk at all.
The "Group Bid" is a feature especially set up for avoiding bids in multiple auctions.
Would you place bids for several offers of the same item you only want to buy once, you might easily get trapped by "winning" more than one auction wher you'd placed abit.
Totally different with AuctionSniper's "Bid Groups". Then you have a larger or smaller number of auctions for items stored in this folder. The "max"-amount specified is valid for all of the auctions in this folder.
AuctionSniper then works on all of the "grouped" auctions - one after the other, always in the "last second" (with the lead time specified)and with the fixed amount as a maximum bid.
If the bis is _successful_, stops its activities for all of the rest in this folder. Therefore no other bid will be placed for the other auctions.
If the bid was not successful, AuctionSniper has the rest in memory and wil place a bid for the next item.
That's all. Pretty easy.
And a most valuable feature in situations where wanted items are on the market multiple auctions.
Regular searches for wanted items (in eBay or with AuctionSnipers fine new Search-feature) make it possible to work continuously with a fixed "maximum" - sonner or later it might be sufficient to "win".
Hope this helps.
