Losing out on an item on sites such as eBay can be incredibly frustrating, especially when it's by just a few pounds or even pence. Unfortunately this is beginning to happen more frequently as many bidders are now using sniping tools which enable them to bid for items automatically, in the dying seconds of auctions, without even having to be at their computers. Unless you are able to watch items twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week it's inevitable that you'll lose out on some items, unless of course you had a way of easily monitoring and bidding on selected items. 11 Jun 2009
