How To Win A Bid On eBay With Snailspeed Internet...
 
No, it's not the answer, more a question that may help those unfortunate brits in Australia that find themselves paying through the nose on eBay because they have rubbish slow internet and cant get a last second bid in to win.

These poor people cant even find themselves a decent pub in oz to drown their sorrows, how sad is that ?

If you have any suggestions to help the plight of those less fortunate or could possibly make a donation to them for a one way ticket back to blighty, respond while your internet line is open.

PLEASE NOTE: WE ACCEPT PAYPAL ONLY, WE REFUSE TO WAIT FOR YOUR BANK TRANSFER.

Act now and we will send you a 30 day voucher to try BROADBAND for free !!! Thats right folks, B R O A D B A N D internet, specially imported from the UK. If after 30 days you feel you need to whinge about it, we will happily refund you your donation money.

***One per family since any more than 1 whinger in a family is considered a moral sin.

Ah but whats the point if your internet is so slow youd have to tell it to place your bet 20 minutes before bidding ends to be sure it gets through in time

Emmmmmm...no.....you put your maximum bid into bidnapper and it bids on your behalf about 4 seconds before the end of the auction. It makes no difference what type of connection you have as you are not doing the actual bidding. www.bidnapper.com

Now don't go bidding on the same thing as me.....I won't be happy.

I sincerely apologise for my ignorance. I use a program that relies on my B R O A D B A N D internet.
Hope this clarifies to your approval.

I too have broadband, it is just not as fast as my mates in civilised countries. 1.5mb is very very poor these days.

Anyway, bidnapper and the many other sniper programs are well worth a look, you inevitably get a cheaper product off ebay as your bid is automatically placed on your behalf 3 seconds before the end of the auction which does not allow anyone to outbid you, thus you avoid a bidding war and save money.

Not only am I smarter than you but I also win more stuff on ebay for less money. :lol:

WHOOSH.......What was that, my sense of humour going right over your noggin my son. :lol:
