Sniping is, generally speaking, placing bid in on-line auction in the closing seconds. Of course, if you have superb Internet connection, exact watch, nerves of steel and the free time excess, you can do it manually. Snip.pl is an on-line auction sniper, it automates the last second bidding process and frees you from the trouble of remembering the ending time of each auction you want to bid on. Snip It! button lets you instantly schedule snipes at Snip.pl while browsing eBay, without the hassle of entering item ID by hand. Snip.pl is working for over 8 years, it won over 7 million eBay auctions.

Is it legal? Yes. All bids placed within listing time frame are valid. Here's quote from eBay help: "Placing a high bid in the closing seconds of an auction-style listing is called “sniping” within the eBay community. Sniping is part of the eBay experience, and all bids placed before a listing ends are valid, even if they're placed one second before the listing ends." (http://pages.ebay.com/help/buy/outbid.html)

How does it work? Bids placed with Snip.pl are exactly the same as if they were placed by hand. Exactly the same. Snip.pl is not a "hack" to eBay site. It obeys all and all eBay's rules. What is different, is that the whole process is fully automated, so you don't have to do anything.

Edit: The "Add to Snip"-Button on eBay listing pages is Back! :-) Everything's fine. I've been using snip for at least 10+ years now. I've never had any troubles with it. Sometimes the snipes wouldn't make it in time, but that happened with a 0.01% chance, if I had to guess. Yes, the snipes cost money, however they're worth every cent. So... Thank you for your service, korba.

Works but have to pay after using a minimal amount of snipes. Essentially not worth the money really.

Cost money. You don't find that out till after that have a lot of your information and you have spent a few minutes setting this all up. The "ammunition" is pricey. You have to pay for each bid, and you are only allowed so many.
