But it works for what it’s intended for, no complaints there. ### 4/5 — It works *2021-09-07* I just won my first bid using this sniper app. Works very well, it isn’t a replacement app for the ebay app, you’d use it along side it. The interface is a bit old looking and there are some long intrusive ads. Even with the issues above, it’s well worth using. ### 3/5 — Brilliant when it works *2021-07-30* Brilliant when it works, but you have to delete the app, log out, change your password, reset everything etc to get it to work. Such a shame ### 5/5 — It no longer works! *2021-03-14* This used to be a great app but it hasn’t worked for a LONG TIME. I’ve tried to send messages but haven’t had any luck. Is this app still working or not!?! Please let me know so I can remove it from my phone. ### 3/5 — Three things; *2021-02-14* It wasn’t clear in setting up the account User and Pass that those should or could be the same as mine on eBay. I emailed Customer Support/Contact Us two times on different questions and did not hear back, at least not on the site. The time remaining lagged that of the eBay site and I wasn’t confident that my bid would be placed in time, eventually the site page showing time caught up but if I were to refresh it wasn’t clear how or if I needed to and the standard refresh icon in the top bar did not show it worked. deanlest ### 2/5 — Unable to use *2021-01-05, version 3.0.1* App would never let me create an account. Process would just hang up with the app spinning its wheel. Garbage removed ### 5/5 — Great product for winning bids *2020-12-28, version 3.0.1* Enter the maximum amount you are willing to pay for an eBay item and this App will enter your bid in the last 3 seconds of the auction, helping save you a lot of time and unnecessary expense by avoiding bidding wars. I’ve found this app works as well as similar apps, but is less complicated to use and also has the lowest usage fees. I used this product successfully but then suddenly has a bid rejected by eBay on an item I really wanted. I responded with a blisteringly mean and angry email to support at the app developer, who very calmly helped me understand that the reason for the rejection was that I had changed my password on eBay without also updating access on the app, so it wasn’t able to login and complete my bid. So then I felt like a total jerk and decided to make up for that by leaving this nice post to recommend the app. Seriously people, if you do a lot of eBay bids as I do, the $18.99 fee every 3 months is a bargain, seeing as how competitive apps charge a percentage for bids won that can easily exceed this amount for a single auction win. Have a peaceful auction day! ### 5/5 — Very good app *2020-12-24, version 3.0.1* Easy to use and works great. ### 5/5 — Miller Brothers blades *2020-12-14, version 3.0.1* This app made sure that I got the item that I needed to have. I am very impressed and happy and will use us again. ### 4/5 — Took a while to register *2020-11-22* Was a little buggy to register, but once up and running it seems to work really well. ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-11-08, version 3.0.1* I’ve used this for years and snipped a dozen auctions with it. Paid for itself many times over. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Expensive *2025-06-03, version 4.2.5* 12.99 for an eBay sniper is ridiculous ### 1/5 — No longer working - not finding auction number *2022-10-17, version 3.0.1* No longer working - not finding auction number ### 1/5 — Could not register *2022-04-06, version 3.0.1* I was unable to register with my chosen username, password and email. The opening screen just hangs, if I switch to home screen, then switch back I get an error with no explanation. Had to remove and will look elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Can’t even create an account *2022-03-31, version 3.0.1* How can I go through all the hoops and it fails every time. Buggy without even working ### 1/5 — I’d this app even active? *2021-08-14, version 3.0.1* It wouldn’t even let me create an account it just kept circling. Tried several times. ### 1/5 — No good for uk users *2021-06-28, version 3.0.1* Have downloaded this and tried to use but won’t sync up to my uk ebay account. When I click the link to check my eBay account it me takes to the US ebay site. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Good fir tracking bad for adding *2021-05-25* Cannot past into action number field, very very disappointing now I have to go to my Mac and login ### 1/5 — Bidnapper - who thought a ransom note logo was a good idea? *2021-01-12* Bidnapper might be a great iphone app if you could get past the login registration screen error/failure to recognize inputs. I found it kind of hilarious their website asks asks to contact them before leaving reviews. I also found the name and log of this app “Bindnapper” with a kidnapper ransom logo both super creepy and a huge stretch to have “bidnapper related to eBay bids. “BidJacker” would have been better because the underlying reference of self-pleasure is far better than referencing kidnappings as as kidnapping and ransom notes. ### 1/5 — Only work on small amounts *2020-10-17, version 3.0.1* Any bigger small amounts lot if time says some glitch happen and you didn’t win ### 1/5 — Can’t create a new account *2020-09-18, version 3.0.1* Don’t bother downloading this app because it won’t let you create a new account in order to use it. I tried to create an account 6 times. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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++++ ### 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’. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2021-04-24* Won the first time I used it. First bid went in with 5 seconds to go. Now the very proud owner of a USA made Fender bass ### 5/5 — Brilliant App! *2021-03-28* I've used Bidnapper for years but having it to hand on my phone is amazing! When you really want that item and you don't want to sit watching it, waiting for those precious last few seconds and hoping someone doesn't beat you to it. Simply put the item number into Bidnapper with your absolute maximum bid and sit back. Tell your friends and earn free snipes too. Win/win. ### 5/5 — Works well. *2021-03-25, version 3.0.1* This was the first time of using this app. I’m pleased.
