Firstly, I have only used Auctionstealer, so my opinions are limited to this auction website. I did consider jwalker/jbid or whatever its called, but given that auctionstealer is website based, and free for 3 auctions a week, I used this.

Advantages:
1) website based which means you don't need to be at your computer to bid, and you can log in anywhere to alter bids
2) never misses, at least not when set on 10 second free sniping, and paid up 3 second sniping
3) group bids together so that you don't win multiple versions of the same thing
4) bookmark add on to add items into Auctionstealer from Ebay
5) free for 3 bids a week, or USD12 for one month subscription, which means you don't have to sign up for a whole year, and only use it when you really need to
6) simple interface, no stupid adverts for other rubbish you don't want to look at

I almost don't want to leave this review, as its going to give other Ebayers a similar advantage. This software has transformed my use of ebay.

bad experience with AuctionStealer, 5 May 2009

Reviewer: bidder one

They take your money from paypal via e-cheque and due to the time it takes to clear you are locked out of your account once a month for a few days.
Thats not the worst of it though as during this time all of your previously set snipes are inacsessable , meaning you can't go in and cancel them if need be.
This resulted in me winning several items I no longer needed as I'd won duplicate items prior to the monthly lockout.
The emails from them need to be seen to be belived, they have no respect for their paying customers whatsoever.
I'm going to demand a full refund and give auction sleuth a try.
Beware!

Bad software and terrible customer service, 7 September 2007

Reviewer: jewelry4me

I tried several snipe services and I found AuctionStealer to be the absolute worst. I missed a few snipes (out of about 20) and inquired politely why I missed. I received an explanation back that didn't really make sense, so I inquired further.

I got a message back telling me if I didn't like it, I could try another service. What?!?! So I wrote back and told them I thought their email was unprofessional and I asked why I was being treated so poorly. If it was operator error (my fault) I just wanted to know what I was doing wrong.

They responded again with a horribly tempermental email that contained borderline profanity. I can't include the response here because he'd have to censor it. Send me a PM if you want to see the response.

I wrote back to say that I was going to write a bad review for them. I went back to the site to find my account, as well as my $20 payment, to be completely erased. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

Stay away from auctionstealer folks.

Works well with FireFox, 9 August 2005

Reviewer: kumajim

I've been using it for about a month and I don't know how I bid
on E-Bay without it. Well worth the money.

No need to install software or keep my PC on all the time. Have had a few missed auctions at busy times but win the majority. Sniping will be around as long as eBay auctions have fixed end times - use a sniping service if you want to win auctions at the right price!
