Seeing a few have asked I'll give a short run down and you can post your questions here.
I use www.auctionsniper.com
I've found that the best. You simply join and you get your first 3 snipes free.
A snipe is a bid made in the last few seconds of an auction. This has a few advantages over normal bidding.
For one you don't push the price up and attract a bidding war. You hold your cards close to your chest showing your bid last.
You don't need to be at the computer to place the bid.
Stops you overbidding based on emotion. You place your max bid and if you lose you lost because you couldn't afford it.
Auctionsniper charges me 25 cents US for every winning snipe. For snipes that you lose on there is no charge.
You can add a snipe it now feature to your toolbar where you open the auction and a box opens. You set the time to bid when you want (I put the last 3 seconds) and your max bid.
Bidding is the same as eBay. You wining bid is the highest bid above the second last bid based on bid increment. If your max is $54 and the next bidder had $34 you win for $34.50.
There are a few other sniping sites around but I find auctionsniper the best. I get billed once a month and its set up as a direct debit but you can pay with paypal or a CC.
Scotty uses http://www.vrane.com/ but its features are limited.
These sites are huge with many users and fully secure and safe to trust with your eBay username/password and CC info. They rely on this trust to stay in the game.
Any questions?
