### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-05-16, version 4.2.5*

I love this app. Keeps me in the game for winning auctions without having to stay up all night waiting on them to finish. A++++

### 1/5 — Expensive

*2025-06-03, version 4.2.5*

12.99 for an eBay sniper is ridiculous

### 5/5 — Bidnapper ftw!!!

*2025-02-25, version 4.2.5*

Solid!!!!

### 5/5 — Bidnapper

*2024-06-01*

App does exactly what it says. Applies your max bid amount to eBay within the last second of the auction. No more worries about having to have your screen on at hammer time, or missing out if you are unable to access your device as the auction ends, or forgetting to bid.
Well worth the small annual fee if you are a regular eBay user…
Also saves you from getting carried away with ‘auction fever’.

### 4/5 — Winning

*2024-04-22, version 4.2.5*

I’ve only lost a bid bid once with bidnapper but overall you can sit back and relax knowing bidnapper gon win the item damn this glazing at max level but yh 100% would recommend

### 4/5 — Good but can definitely use improvements

*2024-03-30*

It’s slow and clunky at times and I don’t like having to log back in at every session. But it works for what it’s intended for, no complaints there.

### 5/5 — Super Easy

*2024-03-24, version 4.2.5*

Works very well! Won the auction I wanted with no problems.

### 5/5 — Awesome Update

*2023-11-10*

I can’t believe this app received an update. I honestly thought it was abandoned. I was able to get the old app to work but this new update is making my life a lot easier. I’ve been using this service for years and love it.

### 5/5 — The Original, Still The Best!!!

*2023-08-27*

I love BIDNAPPER because it was the first effective way to snipe auctions, and it’s still the simplest, no-frills way to win online auctions - in short, it’s the BEST!! No more sitting by the computer counting down the minutes and seconds, hoping to get your bid entered at just the right moment, only to have someone else beat you to the punch or fat-fingering the keys on the keyboard and losing out because of your own ineptitude! Yes, there are other options, but trust me, BIDNAPPER is the OG in the world of sniping!!!

### 5/5 — Wow really free!

*2022-12-02*

Update: this app and dev are the GOAT. PERIOD. Thanks!

Why would anyone use any other service than bidnapper? All of The others make you keep the app open so it can bid from your device. This is not the deal here. Bidnapper is is an eBay service, authorized on your account to bid by proxy for you from their servers. I was a regular customer for a while 10 years ago and it Blows me away it’s free now. Free as in free. I’ve scored several things on my want list already for almost embarrassing low prices. Now I Get to be the guy from completed/sold items that you’re like “wow guy for a deal.” So yeah thanks five stars A+++ deal with this (app) seller.
