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.

If you get a 'nickname already in use' error, change your nickname IN ITUNES as follows:

I missed a wanted item on eBay - app didn’t bid for me!

I have missed a bidding for a wanted very much photographic camera. My bid was $60 higher than the winning bid and my time was reasonable - 6 second before the end of the auction.
The App didn’t even try to bid, so I missed an item and got some lousy reason from eBay with phone calling, pins, I am not robot test. Currently there is no such camera available.

If you want reliably to win, bid- do it yourself.
I am going to delete this app and I will try to return my funds.

Snipe stuff

Very good and works well. I first got it to win some eBay bids. At first, it was kind of annoying to set up bids. You would have to type in the item number, which was really long, but updates have been made and it has gotten easier to set up bids. It works well; I have won several items thanks to the app. I highly recommend it and really helps!

Missed winning bid somehow.

I was buying on an item using this program yet somehow my bid has not been recognized on eBay including bid increases made on this program that were not noted on eBay. As a result I lost getting this item where another similar item went for $100. Needless to say I will not be using this app in future. Not a question of last in bidding as winning bid was there more than a minute prior to being won by someone else. What made it worse was that I needed a device to supplement my profound hearing loss.

Simple to use, if it works

I was expecting a flawless process given the universal 5-star reviews. Set up was easy and after signing in I set up a pair of important auction bids that I wasn’t able to be present for. I lost both despite bidding more than $20 above the winning bids; the reason given was that I needed to “verify my identity” as the bid was being placed through computers I had not signed in from before.

Frankly, if I was not verified beforehand, the Baytomat software should not have confirmed that my auction bids were successfully set up and ready to go. Deeply disappointing. I have had better success from desktop based apps without such teething problems. I suggest new users test out the app on an unimportant auction beforehand.

This was an issue some 4 years ago, please note that 99,9 percent of all auctions are placed correctly nowadays.

Highly Recommended...I’ve actually been winning my auctions!

I really like this app. I think I got one or two “snipes” for free when I downloaded it but then ended up purchasing a few more because I actually WON my auctions. It’s easy to use and imports your lists! I haven’t really gotten other “sniper” apps to work like this one, so I would definitely recommend it!

No longer need to set personal alarms to snipe auctions

This app is excellent at finding exactly what I have in my list of following items. Then adding in a sad time of exactly when I want to snipe on that item as well as the amount. This makes it so I don't have to set personal alarms to stop what I'm doing and Snipe auctions that I want. Also the software is very user-friendly. The presentation of their software isn't super fancy/hip, but it gets the job done and that's all I care about.
