Was just thinking the same thing . . .

If I know I will bid up to say $1500 for something on eBay and not a penny more, why not just wait until their is 10 seconds left and enter my max bid? Never got the sniping thing. if others are willing to pay more I wont get it.

Comes in handy if you forget about an auction or are not in a position to make that last second bid.

Sure, I get that. Don't have to hang over an auction. But, isn't that 90% of the fun?

Playing golf in the Rocky Mountains today was also a lot of fun.

90% of the fun is WINNING an auction!

Here is what is happening to me, and it's been pretty consistent lately.

Anyone have any thoughts? The "Captcha" thing is it.

Thanks in advance...

Bob, have you changed your ebay password within the last 4 or 5 months? I've heard that if you have changed it that gavelsnipe may not work ever again.

Sometimes the auction ends well past when I go to bed and it would be nice to have the snipe option.

Sign up for Gixen, they do not have the Capcha problems that Gavelsnipe does. Gavelsnipe is useless now...I'm not even sure they ever really even tried to fix the problem.

I just had a Gavelsnipe fail last week. The Gavelsnipe site said that I was outbid, but the price on Gavelsnipe was way below my snipe. When I checked on ebay, there had been no bids at all on my item.

It was not a high-dollar purchase ($25) and the seller nicely relisted it at a buy-it-now price for me, but this was my second Gavelsnipe failure in a couple of months, so I just signed up for Gixen.

I used Gixen for the first time last night. Worked great.
