When bidding for scooter parts I've been beat a few times in the last minute by people who must be using automated software. Can anyone recommend software to help me bid and win on ebay?

Thanks

It's not a snipe tool, but ebay offers a tool called "eBay countdown" that shows you a real time countdown and bid update. It lets you bid with one click
right at the last second. Plus it's FREE.

My problem with the auction snipers is you have to give them your eBay user name password. I don't know anyone who uses one so it makes me a little wary.

Now that I've got suggestions from trusted users here, I may have to try it.

I hear ya it's been done to me a few times What's worse is when the seller thinks their product isn't selling high enough and has somebody come on and jack the price up. I had one in particular that i know it must of happened but try and prove it Funny how they come in and get the price up and leave. It's real obvious. GRRR

I like eSnipe, they let you place a bid and unlike eBay, you can retract it. I've used it several times.

I have used auctionsniper.com for years.

Simple, cheap and reliable, not the best interface but it works. I too was worried about the password issue, but it seems to be fine.
