eBay has allowed UnWired Buyer™, from gNumber, to
become a certified eBay Compatible Application for sniping your bid by
phone! Unlike other sniping services, UnWired Buyer™ goes through eBay's
API system to place your last minute bid.
If you're not familiar with the term, "sniping" is the
process of bidding in the last minutes of the auction. gNumber's CEO indy
Gill states that research shows over 50% of bids are placed in the last 5
minutes of an eBay auction!
But have you ever forgotten to place your proxy bid or
your snipe bid? You're away from home or if you don't have DSL/cable
modem, not "dialed-up"? That's where UnWired Buyer comes in by
placing a phone call to your mobile phone with the details of the auction
you're watching, and using their interactive voice response system, you can
place your bid over the phone. Unwired Buyer accesses the eBay system at
your command, and places your bid!
There's no charge for the service because UnWired Buyer is
a member of the eBay affiliate program and gets paid to drive traffic to
eBay. It will work on all cell phones, will all carriers.
Using UnWired Buyer is easier than checking your
voicemail. When you get a call from UnWired Buyer, just enter your 4 digit PIN
and you can bid on an auction. Once you have created an UnWired Buyer account,
you can log in to your account on our website and click How to Use. On
this page you will see a graphic that gives you information on how to use your
cell phone to bid. Here, you can also click on a link for the Auction Simulator,
and you'll receive a call on your cell phone so you can practice before using it
on a real auction.
How safe is your information with UnWired Buyer™?
UnWired Buyer is a certified eBay compatible application. When communicating
with eBay, your information is encrypted, in accordance with acceptable
eBay policies, as well as when your information is being transferred
between their own servers. The company's policy is that they do
not share your personal information, including your cell phone number with
anybody outside gNumber Inc. and its affiliates and phone service or SMS service
vendors, unless required to do so by applicable laws. Only employees who
need to have access to your personal information, in order to help you with a
problem, will be able to access it.
