Two snipes? | Auction Sniper

Can you create two ebay accounts to snipe for the same item to increase your chances of winning? But have a lead time difference between the two.
How does AS deal with two different people sniping for the same thing? Who wins?

You would definitely increase your chances of paying more.

Don’t get too concerned about lead time.

I think Im up against a serious bidder!!!

Assuming this bidder has placed a maximum bid, and when I snipe at the last few seconds, does my maximum bid have to be higher than the persons in order to win or will I win because I am the final bidder?

Yes.

even in the last few seconds?

That sucks! I think I might not win because I dont think my max bid is high enough.

As an additional suggestion, you could contact ebay and share your proclivity.
