do people who use sniping programs generally use it so that they can bid at a specific time?

Yes.
  • You provide your eBay username and password, so the auction sniper can login to your eBay account.
  • You provide the eBay item auction #.
  • You specify the max amount you want to pay.
  • You can specify when you want the bid placed, 1 minute, 30 seconds, 10 seconds, 5 seconds, 3 seconds before auction ends.
  • Paying customers get priority over freebie customers. JustSnipe.com treats it's free customers very nicely in my experience.

I don't understand all this auction stealer\sniping stuff.

RossMAN, if you and I are bidding on an item, and I'm willing to pay more than you, I win. I don't see how it's complicated. I put in how much I want to spend at the most on ebay, and forget about it. If it's higher than what you want to spend, then I win, if not, then you win. Your auction stealer doesn't change any of that...
