taz24 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 "taz24. It got very personal but in the end he backeddown but not before he had left me bad feedback." This does not make sense either, you cannot leave feedback for anybody unless there has been a completed sale, you maintain that; "I withdrew it as per ebays rules", therefore there was no sale made, ergo, no feedback can be left by either buyer or seller. Yes you are right. (it was a few years ago and memory fades) (It was Aug 2004 just checked). The auction was going and I put auction ended all over the site. Right or wrong I still don't like them. I would not use them and I would feel cheated if I was beaten by sombody using one. My example above does leave me open to hypocrisy and I do hold my hands up to that one I'm not perfect and all the points made are valid, I acept that. I just do not like snipers, my personal opinion Cheers taz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob300w Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 sniping software only does what you can do yourself and only works if your max bid is higher than anyone elses. I've not got a problem with them but tend to do what stuart does and just do it myself with 10 seconds to go "only works if your max bid is higher than anyone elses." Any auction, with or without sniping only works if your bid is higher than anyone Else's! I certainly get a buzz from trying to beat another bidder in the final seconds, but if you are going out, and there is something that you really want, then sniping is the way to go.

In reality you would never know you'd been beaten with sniping software it would just show that you had been out bid late on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretman Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 If you want something badly PM the seller and see if they will do a cash deal and close the auction. Naughty, but it works. I just did i saw some purse nets on another forum and he said they had gone then saw the same user name on ebay selling nets. I contacted him though the forum and made a deal and he pulled them off ebay. i have done this a few times with purse nets lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
