When I started using them, they gave me the first 5 snipes for free. I don't know if they still offer that, but if they do you can try them for free. In addition you only have to pay if the snipe is successful.

You put in an amount and it will bid minutes before the auction ends. This feature is already built into eBay. You put your highest price you want to pay for the item and it will continually increment as others bid.

The software I use I set for 3 seconds before the auction ends.

benefits the buyer, they can get things cheaper by avoiding a bidding war, and alot of people bid in the last seconds

That is why if any of the sniping services charge it is best to just use eBay. For example, last night an auction was at $15. I bid $100 for my max price. Then when others bid like $20, $30, $40, it just increases but i have the highest bid.

My record is 1 second before the end of the auction, with the other sniper at 3 seconds. But I don't use Ebay much anymore. Still, the rush is there.
