I am in the process of finding a snipping program. I attempted this "auction buyers" program, but the set up was not user friendly (using auto logins and taking up much RAM/internet speed in the background). The program worked, BUT my macbook had to be turned on, lid open, and the program open for the snipe to go through. Exactly the hassle I want to avoid. In the description of myibidder, it says I can make the snipe and that's it. No open program in the background, nothing. If I want to see if I was out bid, I have to check myself, no notification for that. This is a snipping app I can run from my iPhone that does not intentionally drain computing space by using the personal device as the basis for the bid. Is this accurate?

Yes, this is correct.
You just set your snipe, and you can be offline or not connected to Internet, but the snipe will still go on for you.

Thanks! Im also looking at the PPS version, since I am not a heavy bidder/buyer, as a viable option.

Sounds good.
Please keep in mind that I can always add some additional snipes when you contact support directly and refer to this message.
