Hi, as a new user who is actually using the programme. I have a question with reference to the sniping time. If for instance, I put the sniping time to let’s say, 50 seconds, will JBidwatcher start sniping at this time and then continue putting bids in until the auction finishes or does it do just bid once right at the end?
I hope this garbled message makes sense.

Greetings,
It makes sense; JBidwatcher only places one bid, at the snipe time.

This related FAQ on the site might help clarify: If there are no bids, will program still work and bid opening bid for me? Or, if I already have highest bid, will it just let it go and not bid up, so I will win?

The key part is the last paragraph:

This is why JBidwatcher doesn’t need a lot of time at the end of the auction, to place lots of bids. It just places the one bid, your maximum, and lets the underlying system manage the ‘second price’ nature of it.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for that. Actually paragraph 35 explined a lot to me as well.

Unless I was on a very slow e.g. Dial up I’d never set snipe as high as 50 seconds.
I snipe that far in front gives people you’ve outbid chance to bid again and beat your snipe.
I usually have it set about 5 seconds

Be careful about setting it too short!

I set my snipes 10-15 seconds before an auction ends to give the request adequate time to go through the internet. Too short of a snipe time and you might not even get in a bid.
