Jim VBI'm looking for recommendations for a new snipe service. Thought I'd get the board's ideas.
The one I've been using for the last six months has been OK, but I've had some problems with them "missing" on some snipes. Yesterday, I was bidding on four lots that were connected. A seller had split a set of cards into four different lots. They failed to execute the first three snipes, but then won the fourth lot. If I wasn't going to win the first three, I didn't need the fourth one. Now I am stuck with a 1/4 of a set. The dollars are really small, but it's aggravating, nonetheless.
As usual they blame the problem on "Ebay network problems." However, in this case, the auctions were spaced out more than 15 minutes apart.
From my point of view, a snipe service is pretty useless if they can't get in touch with Ebay for more than 15 minutes at a time.
Who do you guys use?
