unencrypted sniping?

rhythmdogdjMember

I've been sniping at least a year now. At first, I usually won. Lately, however, I seem to be losing even when my snipes are pretty over-valued. I've got my browser set to warn of unencrypted connections and it is reporting back that my snipes, and presumably my login, too, are unencrypted. I'm wondering if my snipes (and also my bids on eBay), might be being captured by some devious program, allowing others to just barely outbid me. Possible? Not possible?

The only way that might be possible is if the person who is beating you is on the same network as you. Maybe in the same cable modem block or something like that. It's highly unlikely.

The most likely reason is usually the correct one. In this case it's just that they're bidding more than you. Perhaps they are doing research on those types of items and see that there are people that snipe them so they prepare for this by bidding higher as an example.

I suppose you could enter your next few snipes here: https://www.auctionsniper.com to try and see but it'd likely be just a coincidence if you ended up winning those. But perhaps you'll lose them as well and the question will have been answered.
