I snipe on most everything because I don't want to have to be around when a lot of auctions are closing. Whatever the time. I snipe high amounts on stuff I really want and may fall victim to the double-snipe as Frank described but that's part of the game. I also snipe lowball numbers on stuff that I don't really need but would like to have at a certain amount. I don't win many of them but I do win some. It just makes things more convenient and I don't forget about auctions. I've not experienced many technical issues where a snipe isn't placed but I'm sure that exists out there sometime. I can't imagine why ebay wouldn't like snipe services because, ultimately, they get people bidding on things one way or the other.
