Rubbish!

Don’t know how this app has had so many 5 star reviews. Downloaded and entered my details although why ask for an email address then don’t email confirmation of registration? Couldn’t import my watch list, couldn’t go to the listing and copy and paste the listing number so ended up writing down the listing number and entered it manually. Then it asked how much I wanted to bid in Euros, couldn’t find any way of changing that to GBP so deleted the app and changed my eBay password. Oh and the interface looked as though it was designed by a child in 2002........terrible app, avoid at all costs!

What Happened??

App was GREAT until it just stopped working!! I’ve tried everything. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled. I’ve re-started my phone. I’ve tried it on different phones, nothing works. The one, single option you have for setting up your bid is very simple, just enter the eBay item number and hit “Load Auction”. For the first 10-15 times, it worked flawlessly! Now it just won’t load any auctions. At all. I get a grey’d-out screen and a spinning wheel that goes on forever. So frustrating!!!!!!!!!

Don’t trust the reviews. Offers bribes for positive reviews

This app’s author offers 3 points (free auction bids) if you give the app a positive review in the App Store. One would think Apple would delist it for abusing the review system, but apparently not. Setting aside that cardinal sin, this app is incredibly buggy, you are required to provide it with a plain text copy of your eBay login and password, which could easily be stolen, and it is pretty flakey about actually bidding on your behalf. If you want a competent eBay sniper, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Misleading

Downloaded because it had positive reviews so seemed reliable. After entering all my personal data and placing my max bid for just two auctions it came up with the error message ‘not enough credit’ and seemed to want my money. Even though the description says you can initially bid for free on 10 auctions. I’m not giving money to an app I haven’t even used! Seems dodgy as hell and it’s false advertising, have uninstalled! Won’t try again! Also thanks to the develops for the abusive and totally unprofessional reply to my review. Rather than providing a constructive response you are just rude. This only confirms my negative initial impression of the app and the people behind it!

Ebay hacked

I had a very secure password for ebay and it got hacked after using this app. Could be a coincidence but the reality is you are giving away you password to a stranger when using these type of apps so be advised to use secondary login for ebay and make sure your email stays hidden and this will keep you better protected when using 3rd party apps and change password after you stop using app. UPDATE. Dev contacted me to say in no way was my ebay hacked so i presume while in my sleep i logged in and agreed to their new terms added items for sale that don’t exist trying to get me a negative score and also got my paypal account locked out. So telling me it was not hacked is lies and i can prove that with email from ebay including the removed item.

In NO WAY was your account hacked. Our App never asks you any passwords! We never got any mail from anyone regarding any issue like that. Sorry we can take this only as Spam.

Excellent Auto Bid App

My first experience was very confusing because I bid £15 for an item, and lost the auction despite the winning bid being £7! I'm glad I tried again, as I won my second auction at a great price. Now my bid success rate is 100%. Highly recommend this app if you want to save money on eBay!

Good app unethical company

The only reason this app has close to 5 stars is because they try to bribe you to leave a 5 star review and if you don't this annoying popup keeps coming up that you can't get rid of.

It works ok, works but it's expensive. And after you have used it for a few days there will be an annoying popup that asks you to go rate the app and give it "5 Stars." However, if you don't do the review or give it 5 stars then the popup won't stop and you never get your 5 free credits. When you actually compare the price of the app to what eBay makes on auctions it's clear that the app try's to make as much or more than eBay does. More expensive auctions "cost" more credits to snipe so they can make increasingly more money on more expensive auctions.
