I take the point about the advantages of 'sniping' - however, I note that, in order to try out their program, they require your EBay name AND PASSWORD!!
Having, on a previous occasion, suffered someone making spurious bids using my EBay name, and having to change password as a result, that is a TOTAL no-no!
I'll stick to the old fashioned count-down timer and trust to luck.
