What is the difference between Powersnipe bidding and eBay proxy bidding?
The different between PowerSnipe bidding and bidding manually by setting the maximum bid on eBay (proxy bidding) is PowerSnipe only starts to bid for you in the final seconds before the auctions end time so nobody knows that you plan to bid on that auction and your maximum bid will be. While you bid on eBay manually, eBay does hide your maximum bid but other people actually see your eBay username in the bid history and try to compete with you by increase their maximum bids to beat your current bid until your current bid reaches your maximum bid then they know your maximum bid? So you must either go back to eBay to reset your maximum bid to compete with them again or you just let them win the auction? In conclusion, the major different here is when should you bid on the auction? PowerSnipe is designed to avoid the competition with other bidders called bidding war that increases the auction price. Powersnipe also saves you time watching the auctions to increase your maximum bid.
