eBay Sniping Tips (Bid at the Last Second to Win!)

Often called eBay sniping, bidding at the last possible moment is the surest way of getting the item you want without paying too much. If you’ve ever bid too early, you know it just results in a bidding war and the item price goes too high. There are a number of programs on the market that allow you to schedule your “snipes” and we’re going to look at one now.
