[quote="Cupid"]What this service does for you is attempt to place the bid that you specify in the last few seconds of the auction, at the offset that you specify (assuming you have a Mirror subscription). The way that Ebay works is that in order for a bid to be accepted that bid must be at least one bid increment above the current auction price. So, if at the end of the auction the price is already above what you were willing to pay, you will not see a bid registered on Ebay, because that bid will have been rejected. In such circumstances the only way to improve your chances of winning is to increase the amount that you are willing to pay by specifying a higher snipe amount.[/quote]
