Not sure if this program will help, but on and off recently, I've had a string of auctions lost by only 50 cents above my max bid. Is the winning bidder likely using a similar program? As I've read about others with the same complaint in researching this subject, It's too late for me to react because the 50 cent higher bid is always at the very last couple of seconds. I guess I"ve been trying to get by with a fairly low bid, but this 50 cent "raise you" crap is driving me nuts. Whatever my max bid is, I would definitely increase it by at least a buck.
So, would it just behoove me to put in the very highest I'd pay for the item right up front, or try this particular program?? Any feedback, pro or con would be most welcome. Oh, and I'd almost started to stick with the"buy it now" sales...
Thanks for your time!

It's pretty simple: With esniper you do a 1-shot maximum bit. If no one else has setup to pay more, you win. This means your final price will be <= your-maximum-bid. If your max-bid is 100 and the max-bid of someone else is 10, you win for 10.50. If someone else's max-bid is 110, you loose by 100.50
