Auction Sniper

I recently tried the popular eBay auction bid sniper software "Auction Sniper."

If you're unfamiliar with the software, what it basically does is bid on eBay auctions for you at the last second of the auction in order to avoid bidding wars. Not only that, but if you're like me, you've missed an item because the auction ended at a really random time. I was at first a bit skeptical about how legit this was but Auction Sniper has a free trial period before you have to start paying so I decided to go ahead with it. It ended up being pretty easy and I was satisfied with the results.
1. Go to auctionsniper and enter your eBay account information, the site automatically imports your watch list.
2. Enter the item number of the item you're trying to win and then enter your maximum bid


3. Wait for the auction to end, and see if you won it. Auction Sniper bids so you dont have to!
Be sure to pay promptly to keep up your reputation as a good eBayer. Look what I won for $27.75...

To find items to buy, maybe try searching eBay for listings that have main key words misspelled in the title.

Most interested buyers will never see these misspelled listings, so you have a better chance of getting a good deal.

You can use a site like ebuyersedge.com (typojoe.com, etc) to search ebay for common misspellings of keywords you enter.

Ebuyersedge also gives you the option of saving your favorite searches, then sending you an email when an item is listed matching one your saved searches, giving you a jump on other potential buyers.

This works best with 'Buy It Now's, but is also effective with auctions.
