Snipe Tool: Add items directly from eBay
The Snipe Tool makes adding snipes a one click process, directly from eBay. We currently offer a Snipe Tool Extension and for older browsers or browsers that don't support extensions, we have a Snipe Tool Bookmarklet. 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:
