Yes. The free plan lets you queue one snipe at a time. So, if you schedule 3 snipes per week, that is over 12 per month. The free plan is limited to 10-second lead times and a maximum bid of $1,000 in your local currency.
The free plan also includes unlimited use of the Bidding Manager, and the ability to import your Watch List and Bid List. See our comparison table for more information.
Bid sniping means to place bids in the closing seconds of an auction. The best way to win an item is to be right there at the last second. We do that for you. You can even turn off your computer.
Yes. We're as secure as secure can get. No eBay password is required. No other sniping service uses a single sign-on method to create accounts. We use 64-bit encrypted security tokens to bid.
Some of the things we do to ensure your security:
Yes. We place your bid the same as if you entered it yourself at the auction site. eBay's proxy-bidding system handles the math.
Snipe bids are the same as proxy bids. That is, they work exactly as if you were submitting the bid yourself "live" on eBay.
As an example, let's say someone already bid $100. The price shows as $100. If you snipe $200, you will pay $100 plus the minimum increment (in this case, $1.50). Therefore you pay $101.50 although you sniped $200.

Sniping and proxy bidding are different. All snipes are proxy bids, but not all proxy bids are snipes.
To understand the difference, first consider what **proxy bidding** is. This is how eBay calculates the current or final price of any auction. At the time any bid is placed, they add one "minimum bid increment." The resulting number is the current price. When you place a bid, you enter the maximum amount you're willing to pay for the item.
BidSlammer just places the bid at the last second, exactly as you would if you placed the bid yourself. eBay's proxy bidding system kicks in to handle the rest--- that is, eBay will make sure you only pay the minimum amount necessary.
So, for bids and snipes alike, eBay will add one bid increment to the price that is showing at the time of the bid. eBay will bid only as much as necessary to make sure that you remain the high bidder, or to meet the reserve price, up to your maximum amount.
The highest bid always wins, as long as it is one bid increment higher than the next-highest bid. This rule supercedes all others. Read more about choosing sniping lead times and the Minimum Bid Increment.
Yes, unless you didn't meet the "minimum bid increment" that eBay adds to the bid that came before yours. For example, if you bid $1020 USD on a $1000 auction, you will not win because the bid had to be $1000 + MBI = $1000 + $25 = $1025. In fact, in this case, your bid will not even show up in the bidding history.
Also, sellers can block you for various reasons, including limiting you to one (1) item or refusing bids due to too many Unpaid Item Strikes. Also, they may not ship to your country. See our bulletproofing guidelines to identify preventable issues.
Yes.
Important: If you were already the high bidder, there is no extra cost, that is, eBay's proxy bidding system does not raise the price. However, if a bidder comes in between, the price will increase to the competitor's bid plus one minimum bid increment.
No.
Yes.

Yes. You can modify or delete your snipes at least 5 seconds before it closes from your BidSlammer Dashboard.
Bid Groups let you bid on similar auctions to win only one item per group. Once you win an item in a group all remaining bids in that group are canceled provided that the auctions are at least 5 minites apart. You can use Bid Groups to spread multiple bids around for similar items and help lower your purchase prices.
To change the lead time on a snipe, you must add the snipe again with the new lead time. However, you do not have to delete the existing snipe first. The new snipe will replace the old one entirely.
Yes. In this case, set the bid amount to zero. If you add a bid, the item moves from the Watching tab to the Current tab on your dashboard.
Yes. Just bid in the currency that is featured in the auction.
To delete a snipe, click the icon next to the item number on your Dashboard. You can delete a snipe right up until the last few seconds of the auction. Immediately before the snipe is placed, we check to see if you have deleted it, and if so, it is canceled.

You need to re-authorize because your token either expired or third-party access was revoked on your My eBay page.
To see the reason why you missed a bid, please see your Completed Tab on your Dashboard. We relay the error message from eBay to you exactly as-is. Most likely, the seller set some requirements or doesn't ship to your country.
