This trixy technique is called ‘sniping’ and is perfectly legal. It’s very annoying when someone does it to you but it can be a most effective way to win auctions…but only if you’re able to keep a constant eye on auction and have a computer fired up and ready to go.

But, we’re faced with a problem. We can’t always be on hand each time a selected auction reaches its final moments. It can mean having to log in many times each day or perhaps even in middle of night. Well, answer could be to use special sniping software.

Okay, so what is sniping software and how does it work?

Basically, it’s a clever little programme which you can set up in advance to place a last minute auction bid on your behalf. Some sniping programs can be downloaded. With others, you place your bid through a special sniping website. You can then wander off, play golf or whatever, knowing that your bid will be made - in dying moments - for that ’must have’ special item.

And it’s all very simple to activate.

You just enter details of each auction you’re interested in (i.e. auction number) and maximum amount you’re prepared to pay for item. And here’s really sneaky part! The program then lodges your bid in very last SECONDS of auction. This means that anyone bidding against you just hasn’t time to place a counter bid. Auto snipers claim to be around 95 – 99 per cent successful in enabling you to win auctions this way.

...and we all know, more traffic, more bids and ultimately, more sales you'll get!

First...answer this question:

"Do you look at other people's feedback ratings?"

You probably answered yes...

So here's my idea -

"Whenever you leave feedback, put your website URL in feedback Comment"

If you don't have a website, no problem, see below for details.

I have only seen this done once! - me.

It's so easy and EVERYONE looks at feedback ratings before they bid.

So, idea would be to try and leave feedback for users that get a lot of traffic...

How? - check out ebay pulse and look at some of highest watched items and try bidding on one of them.

After, you bid and win, leave your feedback with your website URL in your feedback comment.

For example,

**AuctionResourceNetwork.com.com** - Excellent communication and great eBayer, Highly recommended

You can see how domain will *jump-out* at reader.

Also, when you leave feedback for your auction sales, do same.

Now.., if you don't have a website, here's a quick trick on how to direct that traffic to your about me page.
