I am watching 3 items for auction from the same seller. Each auction ends within seconds of each item.
So I don;t miss out on the 3 items is there anything I can do???? Cheers and thankyou

Unless you want to join a sniping service all you can do is enter your maximum bid as close to the end time of the auction as possible.
Depending on your internet connection speed you could probably place bids on 3 items within a minute but if it is not that fast try 1 bid every 30 seconds.

I use Gixen and set the maximum that I'm willing to bid on each item that I'm interested in,(it then bids in the last
seconds for me).
If I do miss out then I know someone else has bid higher than what I was willing to pay.

before I found out about snipe services I used to open a few different windows, one for each item, it used to work fine

You're in luck.
You could sign up for auction sniper. Just google it.
It gives you a free trial where the first 3 auctions are free, after that if you want to use the service, you pay.
I signed up for the freebies. Be aware it will need to know your ebay user name and password so it can bid for you, but you could certainly use it free for all the auctions or else pre-set 2 of the auctions while you watch one yourself.
Like any other auction though, you'll only win if you have the highest bid, no matter if you do it yourself or with a snipe service.
