Review: Bidslammer eBay sniping service
About Bidslammer: "BidSlammer is an eBay bid placement engine. You tell us which auctions you want to win, and we place your bids for you in the closing seconds of the auction. You avoid the emotional price escalation from you and other bidders. You can turn your computer off and let us take care of everything."
The big pitch: BidSlammer will snipe eBay bids for you with a 99.98% success rate and offer new users a free trial. BidSlammer has been opperating since 2001 and since that time they have won over two miillion items for over fifty thousand buyers. The concept is simple. Whether you’re a frequent eBay shopper, a collector or someone who just stumbled across an auction item they wish to buy, BidSlammer wants to help you buy that item for less money and with less stress.
Their ever growing list of user testimonials demonstrates the confidence consumers have in them. The idea of sniping is that eBay auctions are often won by people who place a bid in the last seconds of an auction. That way you only have to bid a few dollars more than what’s already posted, and nobody else has the opportunity to outbid you. Doing this yourself, however, requires an investment of patience and time and can often be quite frustrating. By using BidSlammer you avoid all of that because they snipe the bid for you. With no software to download, Bidslammer makes it easy to get started. Simply set up an account and then fill in the necessary eBay information. You decide what items you want, what you’re willing to bid for them and then let BidSlammer do the rest. As their service is run entirely online, you can control your bids from any online computer. One of the best features of this service is what they call “Bidgroups.” This is where you get some of the best help for the online auctions. If there are several auctions taking place for similar items BidSlammer allows you to group them together and it will be ready to snipe all of them but once you win one of the items, the rest of the bids are canceled. Anyone who has ever tried to win an item from multiple auctions before will instantly see the stress relief this offers. After looking around the web for similar services BidSlammer’s price seems to be the lowest. They also offer a more then fair payment system. There are no monthly fee and and they opperate with win-based pricing where you pay them 1% of your winning bid (25 cents if it’s under $10) to a maximum of $5! If you end up losing the auction, their fee is only 10 cents.
The Product Trends rating: Five stars. If you want to win online auctions without having to work for it then there’s really no reason not to try this service out. It’s truly an amazing product to explore. —Reviewed by Phil Pivnick
