other online auction sites

64418 2 0

Hello,
Does your software work with online auctions sites other than eBay? I am from the SF Bay Area and work mostly with local organizations. Specifically I need an auction sniper that will work on MaxSold.com and BayAreaOnlineAuctions.com.
Just recently I started losing pretty much all the auctions I placed bids on in the very last seconds to someone only paying $1 more than my max bid. I just now learned of auction sniping and feel like a fool for missing out on something so obviously valuable to someone utilizing online auctions. I am an antiques reseller and the majority of my inventory comes from online estate sales. Sniping has already caused me to lose quite a bit of business to other buyers who are now clearly sniping. My continuous losing streak must stop immediately, I need the same advantage as these competitors who have one-upped me entirely so far. I must have an effective sniper platform to use on the above mentioned sites as soon as humanly possible. I need your assistance with this, hopefully you can provide this. I will anxiously await your response.
With much gratitude,
Taylor Tanner, Owner

Hello Taylor,
Thank you for your question about supporting other auction sites.
Even if you snipe, you are still going to encounter the outbid-by-$1 thing. The "outbid by $1" means that MaxSold is just taking the bid from you, the second-highest bidder, and then adding the minimum bid increment of $1.00. You are probably being outbid by a much higher bid than just a dollar.
Here is a link to MaxSold's help page on that topis:

We have a help page with examples:

I looked at the user agreements for those sites, and they do not allow outside "scraping" tools anyway.
Thank you for taking the time to write in. Please let us know if we can help further.
