Need some help understanding how our eBay online auction software works?
Can I try it first?
Yes — Sign up for a trial and enjoy 3 free snipe attempts. You may enter up to 3 snipes in our system. After your trial, add funds to your balance by PayPal or credit card.
Do you bid the minimum amount necessary?
Yes — Snipe bids are the same as proxy bids. That is, they work exactly as if you were doing the bid yourself "live" on eBay. As an example, let's say someone already bid $100. The price shows as $100. If you snipe $200, you will pay $100 plus the minimum increment (in this case, $1.50). Therefore you pay $101.50 although you sniped $200.
Why does BidSlammer have the best sniper?
Any sniping service can place your bid at the close of the auction. What makes BidSlammer the best out there? Double-system Protection. Our snipes have double-system protection, so that if one system fails, the backup system executes the bid. A single system has a 99.9% success rate. Our second system raises it to a 99.98% success rate (only 1 miss every 50,000 snipes).
Is sniping better than just submitting the bid myself?
People usually bid more emotionally when they know someone else is interested. When you bid on an item, the public knows of your interest and the sense of competition heightens. When you outbid someone, they find out immediately and usually drive up the price. Monitoring the auction is stressful and time consuming. Why not let someone else do it?
Can I bid against myself?
You cannot bid against yourself. Your later bid, if larger, will take precedence over the other bids you have placed. From that point on, the actual amount of your bid will depend on the proxy rules.
For reserves, will you post only the minimum bid required to win?
A bid will be placed at the minimum price needed to meet the reserve. Example: Starting bid is $50 with an undisclosed reserve of $100. Your maximum bid is $200. You will win for $100, if you are the only bidder.
Can I change or remove my bid prior to closing?
You can modify or delete your snipes 180 seconds before closing, or earlier. Our sniper starts about two minutes early, so we don't allow changes immediately before the closing.
Can I just track an auction without bidding?
Set the bid amount to zero. The bid will be rejected by eBay but the auction closing information will be tracked. You can always update your minimun bid if you want to actively participate in the auction.
If someone else also has a snipe in on the item will I automacally be outbid?
The highest bid always wins. This rule supercedes all others.
Is it possible to lose an auction even if my bid was higher?
One out of about 5,000 snipes miss daily for reasons of which are not certain. We place the bid virtually every time, but on a rare occasion either we or eBay incurs a brief Internet delay of some kind.
Does Bidslammer have bid groups?
Bid Groups lets you bid on similar auctions to win only one item per group. Once you win an item in a group all remaining bids in that group are cancelled provided that the auctions are at least 5 minites apart. Bid Groups allow you to spread multiple bids around for similar items -- keeping your purchase prices low.
