Introduction

eSnipe submits your bid for you during the last few seconds of an eBay auction.

Why bother? Why not just place the bid yourself? Because eSnipe helps save you money, time, and trouble.

This tutorial will show you everything you need to get started using eSnipe. It's quite detailed, but it's organized so that you can read just the parts that concern you.

Here's an outline of the major sections:

• The background: how eBay bidding works what "sniping" is, and why it's useful.
• Problems that sniping creates, and how eSnipe avoids or controls them.
• How to join eSnipe so you can try it for yourself.
• How to schedule a bid with eSnipe.
• Other cool things eSnipe can do, such as no-hassle bid retraction and checking the status of your bids.

If you're a new eBay user, we recommend that you go through the whole tutorial. You don't have to read every word, but take a look at each page. You'll probably find some useful information even if you didn't expect it.

If you're already familiar with eBay bidding and with the advantages of sniping, you may prefer to go straight to the instructions for joining eSnipe.
