Number of snipes | Auction Sniper

blacksheepMember

I'm new at this (ebay and sniping) and am probably getting carried away but is there a set limit to the number of snipes you can make within a set period? Could have sworn I saw something about a limit of 5 per week but now can't find it again.Also if there is limit when does the period start(time of first snipe?)and does it include the three first free snipes?

Some 'free' snipe sites cap the number of snipes but AS charges for is service so it's not in their interest to limit your snipes...

Make sure you read up the AS FAQs and the ebay proxy Bidding help screen. Set your lead time to 8 seconds, never re-use a bid group, always bid odd amounts and remember...

...it's not the last bid that wins, it's the highest.

Bonne chance!
