How Do I Cancel a Snipe?

I started a snipe then decided to buy the item from another seller at a better price.

NO LONGER AVAILABLE

All of a sudden, this app, which I purchased is no longer available. I tried to contact the developer with no success.
I was notified the developer has an update coming.
I hope soon.

Hi Danny, eBay made a change that kept the app from working, I've been working on an update and it is nearly ready, the support email still works though, so I am not sure why you were not able to get through, I answer all emails with a question in them, and have been doing that for 8 years.

Works

I used this app and won. I will always use this app when bidding on eBay

Works great

The UI is awkward. The help is hard to read. And multisniping (the best feature) is not available in the iOS version (for somewhat obvious reasons). But it works, and works well, especially in conjunction with the Mac app, which *does* have multisniping (multisniping is the ability to set bids for multiple items, and it will stop bidding after it has one one, so you can bid on six different new iPads at once without worrying that you’ll win more than one of them). And the developer is very responsive. I wish for three things: Share sheet support, so I can send items from the eBay app to this one without having to copy and paste, the ability to set up clusters on the iOS app for use in the Mac app, and auto-calculation of shipping costs, so I can enter the same bid amount for several items with different shipping costs.

Hi Jose, try deleting the app, redownloading from App Store, (with an update that should be out in a few days from now) see how it is working then. not sure what was happening back last year though.. it has been working fine, but this app is one where it needs set up with specific setup instructions to work.

Does not save your set up auctions.

You have to put the order in each time you log in. I would check out a different one first. Many good free ones that work well.

Hi Rosco, the app does save your eBay snipes, one possibility is that it saves them in your iCloud, because the app can be used with the Mac version, so if you are not connected, or have something turned off, then the app will not find iCloud/ and your snipes.

Beware will delete all snipes and bookmarks!

Worst app ever! If you install it it will automatically delete all your snipes and bookmarks from your desktop version - beware!

Hi Cookcar, as the instructions clearly and emphatically state, if you want the two apps, and if you want them to work together, they must sync, and to do that, they clear out anything that was in your bookmarks and snipe list so that can happen, and then they can then work together. I've noted this in as many places as possible. It is a one time syncing process. but it must do that to get them to interact with each other.

What I Needed that Day

I needed something right now. I wanted something I controlled. This app worked great. The directions were clear. The testing of mode two was flawless and when I needed it to come through for me the day I go it, it did. I used an older iPhone that was without cell service as the server. It communicates cleanly to my other Apple devices.

Horrible app

Time and time again I have tried to use this app and it doesn’t work especially when you need it. Do not waste your money or time because just you will think it is working then it will fail you and then it’s too late and then it will be your turn to write one of these to try and save other people from the mistake I made 😪

Hi Rafe, The app is one of those where the set up and the instructions are absolutely paramount, as one can lose out on a snipe if they are not followed. especially this app, since it really is an importer for the Mac version of the app. however it can be used as a stand alone app, BUT it must be used with two devices when doing that, one that you can dedicate as the actual sniper device, set aside and left on with the app running. so it is a trade off if one wants to use it this way. however the app does work, and lots of reviews show that it does work when it is set up properly, and TESTED.. lots of users are skipping that step. that is the only way to know if it is setup properly.

Awesome

I've been using this app for a few years now and it works great. I only use it on my iPhone and have no complaints. This app never fails! Now that I have an old phone, I use it as a dedicated sniper. Supreme gear, kicks, electronics... done!

Does not work

Waste of money, failed three times after I thoroughly read the instructions.

Hi Amelia, part of the instructions includes two things, the part about Always, ALWAYS test your set up, so that you can tell if the app is working, and if it is not, goes on to say, email me if you have a problem, and I can quickly find what is the problem you are having.

Nice ability to share auctions between iPad

Nice ability to share my auctions between iPad and my Mac and the Mac bidder has won several auctions. Support has been very helpful too

Normal bidding has nothing on this

Won a few using this now I am starting to actually enjoy the bidding process before it was always ending in losses now it is more likely a win. I use this with my old iPod as my bidding device so it is running and my bids go in at the times I want and I just put the bids in with my iPhone any time I want. I like this setup thanks for this app

Works and worth it

I mostly don't read instructions but some apps it has to be done and this turned out to be one. I tried it blindly and didn't get any where but once I figured it out it works great. Plus having on my second iPhone makes it a no brainier.

No more bidding games for me

Have this app on my Mac too which I think is a must for a good eBay sniping set up and they work great together. Developer seems to be improving them all the time too. I've seen how good these two apps get at sniping for me. Best part, it never over bids which is nice No more getting into bidding games.

I got a bid to low notification in 5 minutes !

On the Mac version after setting up bid here on my iPhone. Which is timely and much better than what eBay does. This app is on my Mac and on here and this is very good not only auto bids on the Mac I knew five minutes from when it happened that my max price had been exceeded. EBay doesn't even do this for its live bids. Excellent features when used together.

Keeps on bidding and winning

I still have to have the highest bid, but this sure makes those bids more likely to win. Bids going in the last second keeps me out of the bidding wars, that is the way I need it to work.

Won the 1st auction sniped!

Not sure if the title got cut off or not, so I'll say it again: I WON THE FIRST AUCTION SNIPED USING THIS APP!! Now that's what I call RESULTS! Bottom line: This app and its desktop companion of the same name work exactly how they're supposed to work - PROVIDED YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SET UP FIRST. They might be long and, ok, perhaps a little tedious, but you do it ONCE and you're set. Anyway, I had a great first experience and am optimistic for the future - I'd definitely recommend this app to those in the market for an eBay auction sniper. Thanks, Devs! xoxo
