Ebay is the leading online auction site where sellers can showcase a wide range of items to buyers. Auctions typically last for a fixed amount of time, with bidders entering the highest amount they’re willing to pay. Sniping is a technique used to get the best possible price for bidders, with automated services available.
Online auctions are one of the most popular uses of the internet. Ebay is the leading auction site and basically serves as a marketplace where sellers can showcase their wares to a vast number of buyers. Items for sale range from knick-knacks to collectables, homes to businesses. The range of items for sale is staggering.
Auctions typically last for a fixed amount of time, and bidders enter the highest amount they’re willing to pay for an item. At the end of the auction, the highest bidder acquires the right to purchase it at the agreed price. Most auctions last for a week, but some are as short as three days and some are as long as 10 days or a month.
Sniping is a technique that attempts to get the best possible price for auction bidders. If you bid a few days before the end of an auction, other bidders will have the opportunity to react to your bid and decide if they want to bid more. Sniping means that you bid as close to the end of an auction as possible to minimize the time your competitors have to raise their bid. You can snipe manually (manually enter your bid before an auction ends), but there are also automated services where a computer automatically places your bid seconds before an auction closes. Such automatic sniping can be achieved with special software that you run on your computer, or there are companies that will provide the sniping service for you (these are usually more reliable). Some sniper services are free and can help you get better prices at auctions. Note that sniping is different from proxy bidding, which many auction sites offer for free.
