What is auction sniping?

Auction sniping refers to a strategy of bidding on an item during the final moments of an online auction when the specified time for the auction's completion is near. Many bidders have reported success in using this approach to win auctions, although it should be noted that not every sniping bid will result in victory. 

Ultimately, the bidder who submits the highest bid will be the one who wins the auction. With JustSnipe's automated system, bidders can avoid staying up until the last seconds of an auction to place their bid. By scheduling a target auction, JustSnipe will bid on their behalf during the closing moments of an eBay auction.

What is eBay security token?

JustSnipe has upgraded its security measures by switching from eBay id/password to the eBay security token for a few years now. This new system enables JustSnipe to securely place snipe bids and better protect your JustSnipe/eBay account.

To utilize the eBay security token when you sign up for JustSnipe, there is a backend process that is required. The eBay security token's lifespan is determined by eBay's configuration, but typically it lasts from a few months to a few years.

As the expiration date of your eBay security token approaches, JustSnipe will alert you through your account to ensure that you can continue using our service without any disruptions. If the eBay security token is not renewed, it may prevent you from placing bids on our platform. 

 

Visit the link below for instructions on how to re-new or re-authorize your eBay security token.

What are the limited features in your Free membership plan?

The "Free Membership" plan offered by JustSnipe provides users with a limited set of features. While the plan is free, it is subject to certain restrictions.

One of the main limitations is that free members are only allowed 5 snipe credits per week. Additionally, to support the cost of providing the free service, JustSnipe displays banner ads on some of its pages.

However, users who wish to take advantage of more features and benefits can consider upgrading to a paid membership plan. JustSnipe offers various membership plans that come with different levels of benefits, such as increased snipe credits, real-time price checks, and email notifications. 

For more information about the available plans and their features, please visit the JustSnipe website at:

What is the bid amount that JustSnipe will be placing for me?

When you place a bid through JustSnipe, you enter your maximum bid amount, which is the highest amount that you are willing to pay for the item. JustSnipe's server will then submit your maximum bid amount to eBay at the last seconds of the auction, using eBay's proxy bidding system to ensure that your bid is competitive and that you have the best chance of winning the auction.

After your bid is submitted, eBay's proxy bidding system will automatically increase your bid up to your maximum amount in response to competing bids from other bidders. If there are no competing bids, you will win the auction at the current bid price, which may be less than your maximum bid amount.

Overall, JustSnipe allows you to place bids on eBay auctions with confidence, knowing that your bid will be submitted at the last seconds of the auction and that you will have the best chance of winning the auction at the lowest possible price.
