Your Password – Just as it’s important to select a hack-proof user name. You should choose a MegaSniper Account password made up of a combination of 6 to 20 numbers, letters and symbols.
Your Email Address – This is where we’ll be sending your activation link and information about your bids, unless you indicate otherwise, so be sure to provide an address that you’ll be checking regularly.
How Did You hear About MegaSniper? – Did you “hear” about MegaSniper on Google, from an ad, a friend or did you clink on a banner—please let us know?
eBay Login and Password – Before you can start bidding with MegaSniper, you’ll also need to provide login information for the at least one eBay auction service. You’ll be able to do this later in My MegaSniper>Settings.
SETTING UP YOUR AUCTION SERVER ACCOUNTS
Your eBay Account – To use MegaSniper, you will need to have an eBay account. If you don’t have an eBay account, you’ll have to set up one before completing your MegaSniper registration. Once you’ve signed up for eBay, simply go to My MegaSniper>Settings and add your eBay Account. If you have more than one eBay account, you’ll be able to enter several logins by using the Add button.
Your Default Bid Buffer – When you setup your MegaSniper account you may also change what’s known as a bid buffer. The bid buffer is simply the number of seconds before the end of auction that MegaSniper will place your bid. For instance; if you set your buffer at 8, MegaSniper will place your bid 8 seconds before the auction closes.
At the beginning of each auction a default buffer will automatically appear - to expedite the bidding process. You can enter your own default buffer here (the minimum is 3 seconds, the maximum is 120). We’ve found that setting your buffer between 4 and 8 seconds will achieve the best snipping results.
You’ll find more information on buffers under How Do I Increase My Chances for Success?

Back to topCHANGING YOUR BID
Editing Your Bids – If you’d like to make changes to any aspect of a bid go to your list of pending bids, simply click the edit link and you’ll be able to make any changes you’d like to your bids. Once you’ve made the changes you’d like to click the “Change” button to confirm them and you’re done.
Note: Remember, you won’t be able to retract or change your bids during the 60 seconds before your buffer kicks in.
CHANGING THE BID BUFFER DEFAULT SETTING
The bid buffer is the number of seconds before the end of an auction that MegaSniper will place a bid. For example: If you set your bid buffer at 8, MegaSniper will automatically place your bid 8 seconds before the auction ends. To expedite bidding, a default buffer appears automatically each time you begin a bid on MegaSniper.
Each time you bid, you’ll be able to set a separate buffer simply by entering the desired time in the “buffer” field when you enter your bid (the minimum buffer is 3 second and the maximum is 120). We’ve found that setting a buffer time somewhere between 4 and 8 seconds will win the most auctions.
To set your default buffer go to My MegaSniper>Settings
For more information on buffers settings check out: How Do I Increase My Chances for Success?
Back to topADDING CONDITIONS TO YOUR PENDING BIDS
Conditions – For each of your bids, you’ll be able to request that certain actions be taken depending on the outcome of that bid.
Here’s an Example: Let’s say that you’re interested in buying a camera and a camera case separately. You tell MegaSniper not to place your bid on the case if you don’t win the auction for the camera.
Instructions: Go to your list of pending bids and click the Conditions link next to the bid for the camera—where you can specify the limitations for this pending bid. To add an action to the bid in the “Condition” window, simply select the “If Bid Is Unsuccessful” field then select the bid for the case and select “Retract Your Bid,” then click the “Add Conditions” button to confirm.
Note: There will need to be at least 4 minutes between the condition and the end of the auction.
Back to topSETTING UP A CLUSTER BID
What Are Cluster Bids For? – It’s simple . . . If you’re interested in a particular item and several auctions are offering it at various times, you can set up a group of bids known as a cluster. MegaSniper will automatically retract any remaining bids once you’ve won. Using “Clusters” will definitely increase your chances for success.
To create a cluster bid select the “Cluster Bids” menu tab then enter your name for this Bid Cluster in the “Create a Name for Your Bid Cluster” field then click "Continue". Set the maximum number of times MegaSniper should bid on the items you’d like to buy in the "Set Bid Limit for This Bid Cluster" field then click "Save".
Back to topRETRACTING YOUR PENDING BIDS
To retract a bid, go to your list of pending bids, click the Retract link then click the “Retract” button on the “Bid Retraction” form to confirm.
Note: Remember, you won’t be able to change or retract your bids during the last 60 seconds before a scheduled bid.
Back to topWHY SHOULD I USE MEGASNIPER?
Simple. Because MegaSniper will help you win every eBay auction you enter!
- MegaSniper lets you avoid the online bidding wars that drive up auction prices.
- Your bids will remain invisible to the competition.
- You’ll be able to modify or retract bids up to three minutes before the close of the auction.
- MegaSniper’s high-speed servers have been positioned very close to eBay, to place your bids as quickly as possible—shooting in seconds before an auction closes to deny your competition a chance to respond.
- The bids you place using MegaSniper differ in no way from those other bidders place manually. But they are invisible and timed to give you the best chance of winning your auctions.
- MegaSniper bids are simply faster and more effective than those placed manually.
- MegaSniper will work for you 24/7! Using MegaSniper, you won’t need to hover over your computer during an auction’s final minutes. You’ll be free to designate the maximum price you’d be willing to pay, relax and let MegaSniper do the rest.
WHICH AUCTION SERVICES ACCEPT BIDS FROM MEGASNIPER?
MegaSniper lets you bid on all eBay auctions. Thanks to MegaSniper you can win eBay auctions worldwide regardless of currency.
Note: Auctions that advertise, “No sniping,” prevent MegaSniper from placing bids there.
Back to topHOW DO I INCREASE MY CHANCES FOR SUCCESS?
First, Set a Unique Price – Whenever there are identical bids, the one placed earlier will win out. So we recommend that you place bids in unique or uncommon amounts. For instance; if you’d like to buy something for $200, set your maximum bid at something like $201.53 to minimize your chances of running into an identical bid.
Second, Manipulate the Buffer – As we said above, whenever there are two or more identical bids, the earlier one will win the auction. So, if you set higher buffer times, your offers will be placed earlier and you’ll win more auctions. This kind of manipulation can be risky, however, because it may give others the opportunity to respond and outbid you. On the other hand, a 10 second buffer won’t leave much time for the competition to outbid you but it will increase your chances of success!
