The Snipe Tool makes adding snipes a one-click process directly from eBay.  We currently offer a Snipe Tool Extension, and we have a Snipe Tool Bookmarklet for older browsers or browsers that don't support extensions.  Both versions of the Snipe Tool open a small window and allow you to enter a snipe - without ever leaving eBay's website.  To add and use the Snipe Tool, follow the directions below:

Add Snipe Tool to your Browser

1. Go to the Snipe Tool page (you will see the best option for your browser).
2. Follow the directions on the page.

Using Snipe Tool Extension (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Opera)

1. Find an eBay auction on eBay's website.
2. Click the Snipe button (below the Bid button).
3. Login to your account.
4. Enter your Max Bid.
5. Click the Save button.
6. Close the Snipe Tool (automatically closes after 5 seconds).

Using Snipe Tool Bookmarklet (All browsers)

1. Find an eBay auction on eBay's website.
2. Click the Snipe Tool bookmark you added to your browser (usually in your Bookmarks bar).
3. Login to your account.

5. Click the Save button.
6. Close the Snipe Tool (automatically closes after 5 seconds).

Both versions of the Snipe Tool will only work on eBay auction items. You will receive an invalid item message if you try to enter a Buy It Now item or items from a different auction website. We currently support sniping on all eBay websites.
