Does anyone use EZ Sniper or similar?
Looks handy but is it secure as they ask for your ebay user name & password?

I used to use lotsnipe and is was cool & never asked for my username or P/W. I would be VERY dubious about using anything that asks for those details.

How can it bid for you without knowing your username and password ?

I was thinking that, but Im certain I never gave that info out. It was quite a while ago so Im afraid I cant remember.

i think you put in a maximum bid and it will snipe the auction if someone tops your bid up to what you have put as your maximum.
i also think it snipes right on the last second but not sure 100%

Yeah but the thing is how can it put in a bid on your behalf without knowing your password? Im sure I didnt give my p/w so I cant explain it.

Thats right. Thats what I want to use it for as I can be away from a PC for days at a time.
I just wondered if it was above board as I dont want to find Im bidding on a shed load of stuff which I know nothing about etc.
OR if theres a better/cheaper one about.

I have used Auctionsniper and never had any problems.

Vrane works well for me.

But then, I am one heck of a winner.
