... and was able to win two auctions. But was using my "free turns". I'm not sure I'd pay for the service in my situation.

If your after a item, you put in the max you want to pay & it will bid at the last few seconds upto your max amount for you.

ebay does that anyway if u want sommat @£50 put it on and ebay increases your bid as the competition bids against u

These things are good for winning items but crap if your the one selling.

I use snip.

Yes but then the price goes up as "bidding war" continues

Bid bot or whatever it's called ONLY puts your bid in 3 or 4 secs before the end of the auction. So other interested parties dont have time to up their bid before the end of the auction

It also stops me getting all excited at the end and over bidding

Always use esnipe myself and to great effect
