Thank you Mary Ann... I went to their web page and
read the following: "To keep up our great level of 
performance and service, eSnipe will begin charging 
for a fee of 1% of the winning price for snipes of $25 
and more beginning May 16th, with most snipes under 
$25 still free. "

This is really terrible!  Whose idea was to charge a
percentage of the winning bid?  How does this make
any sense?  So a bid of $5000 for a Macro Realist
(hypothetically speaking :)) would have cost $50, 
while a $20 bid is free?  Doesn't that require the same
amount of work from esnipe?   Wouldn't a flat monthly
fee or a flat fee per snipe make more sense?

Too bad because I liked esnipe and have used it
extensively and recommended to others too.  A 
1% fee would be the end of my ensipe use.
