What are the main reasons for sniping in auctions ?
Sniping saves you time and money. Some auctions last for weeks – you don’t have to be at your computer at all during this time, your bid will be automatically placed for you in the final few seconds of the auction, leaving you to concentrate on other things. Also, because your bid is not registered with eBay, other bidders can’t see that you’re interested in an item. This can help avoid the emotionally charged bidding ‘war’ that all buyers dread. Another reason for using BidBurglar is if you happen to have a change of heart/interest regarding an item. If you place your bid through eBay, you are bound by their terms of agreement and your bid must be honoured. With BidBurglar you can cancel your bid up until 5 minutes of auction close with no penalty. The ability to change your mind is invaluable. Personal needs and circumstances can often change during the course of an auction.
