Reduced Number of Multiple Bid Servers for Free Members

Reduced Number of Multiple Bid Servers for Free Members.

At JustSnipe, we place your snipe from multiple servers location to ensure that your bid is getting place. Our experienced users will see that in many of the bid-history logs, there are multiple bids placed in the same seconds with the same bid amount. This feature is designed to increase the winning chance of JustSnipe users when a snipe was delayed by the internet traffic, the second server will take over and place the bid to the auction.

Unfortunately, this feature may no longer be available for members in the Free Plan.

This decisioin came in shortly after there were a few users who tried to take advantage in every way of the free auction sniper service that we offered.
