After you enter the item number
and click the "BidWizard" button, eSnipe displays
the BidWizard page. You use this page to tell BidWizard how much you want to bid,
and when.
The essential part of BidWizard looks something like this:
To place a bid, you must:
- Enter your maximum bid. Enter just the amount, with no dollar sign or other currency
symbol. (The first part of this tutorial discusses proxy bidding and
how to choose your maximum bid.)
- Enter the quantity you want to bid on. (This option appears only for a
Dutch auction.)
For an ordinary auction the quantity is 1, and cannot be changed.)
- Enter the buffer value, that is, how many seconds before the close of the
auction when you want
eSnipe to submit your bid. (Until you get some experience with sniping, we recommend
using the default value. A later part of this tutorial discusses
how to choose a buffer value.)
- Click the "Place eBay Bid with eSnipe!" button. The BidWizard
will schedule your bid.
