Snipe Group Introduction

JustSnipe offers an advanced feature called "Snipe Group" that allows you to bid on multiple auctions and automatically cancel remaining auctions when the desired condition is met. This feature can save time and increase your chances of winning the desired item.


Example of Snipe Group Usage:

Suppose you want to purchase a pair of Nike shoes, but there are five identical listings for these shoes. You can use the Snipe Group feature on JustSnipe to schedule snipes for all five auctions and set the winning condition to one item. Our system will start sniping the first auction, and if you don't win it, the second item in the list will be activated. This process continues until the winning condition is met. Once the condition is satisfied, any remaining snipe orders will be canceled automatically. 

 

Limitations of Snipe Group:

Although Snipe Group has been tested and works well in our testing environment, it is still in beta phase and may require some tweaking. Please use this feature with caution and let us know if you find any bugs or have suggestions for improvements. 

  • Snipe Group does not work with private auction listings or Dutch-format auctions. While you can add these auctions to the list, our system will not be able to determine the winner.

  • The end time of each auction in a single group should be at least 60 seconds apart. While you can add auctions with end times closer than 60 seconds, please note that there may be no warning.

  • The maximum number of snipe items in one single group is 30 items.

  • Snipe orders can only be assigned to a group when it is first created. Any snipes scheduled earlier but not assigned to a group cannot be moved to a snipe group and must be deleted and re-created.

 

We hope you find this feature useful and welcome your feedback on how we can improve it.

What is JustSnipe?

JustSnipe is a software or online service that allows users to place automated bids on online auctions in the final seconds of the auction. It is typically used to increase the chances of winning an auction by placing a bid at the last possible moment, in an attempt to outbid other bidders. JustSnipe is typically used for auctions on websites such as eBay, and it can be set up to monitor auctions and place bids on behalf of the user. Some JustSnipe services also offer features such as automatic re-bidding and alerts for when specific auctions are about to end.

Network Problems on Multiple Servers

 On March 19, 2021, JustSnipe experienced intermittent network problems on multiple servers in our network. The issue occurred between 01:00 - 02:00 and again between 17:00 - 17:30 (Pacific).

  • Some snipes that ended during the above time may fail with error #8. 
  • Some customers may not be able to sign in. 

As of now, the issue has been resolved. However, as precaution, we will perform emergency maintenance between 01:00 - 03:00 (Pacific) of March 20, 2021. 

We are sorry for the inconvenience that may have caused.

Thank you,

eBay Security Token

 
TLDR
You need to re-link your JustSnipe and eBay account in order to place bid because the security code is expired. Read further for instruction.

--------------------

JustSnipe has switched to eBay security token (instead of eBay id/password) for a few years. The new eBay security token helps us to place your snipe bid and better maintain the security of your JustSnipe/eBay account.

When you first sign-up an account with us, there is a process in the back-end that allows us to use this security token. The token has its life span depending on eBay configuration but most of them would last a few months to a few years. 

Every now and then when the eBay security token is about to expire, you would receive a warning message on your JustSnipe account and it may prevent you from placing bid. 


--------------------


To renew or re-authenticate the token, you will need to follow the instruction below. 

 
1. Visit "Manage eBay Account" page.
https://justsnipe.com/settings/ebay

2. Click the green "RE-AUTHORIZE ACCOUNT" button.

3. You will be redirected to eBay site to grant JustSnipe access.
Simply just sign in using your eBay account that you would like to
link with JustSnipe.



4. Once you have signed in to eBay, you will be asked to grant
application access to JustSnipe. Simply Click "Agree" button.



5. To make sure everything is in working order, go back to the "Manage
eBay Account" page by following steps 1 - 2 again and click the green
"VALIDATE" button.
