eBay users who wish to place last-minute bids in online auctions will benefit from a new program called HammerSnipe PowerTool. PowerTool helps eBay bidders master the popular and somewhat controversial practice of "sniping", which refers to placing a bid during the final moments of an online auction.
Developed by HammerTap, a software company specializing in Windows applications for online auction users, PowerTool differs from other desktop sniping software in that it places bids through HammerSnipe, a free online bid placing service. The application, which includes a built-in auction browser, does not rely on the user's computer or Internet connection to place bids.
HammerSnipe PowerTool is available for download from the HammerTap website. It is compatible with six of the international eBay sites as well as eBay Motors. http://www.hammertap.com/powertool/
