How we make money
InstaSnipe participates in the eBay Partner Network (EPN). When you open a listing through a link we send you and buy it, eBay may pay us a commission. It never changes the price you pay, and it never changes which listings we show you or what verdict they get — the scoring never looks at the link.
We are not eBay
InstaSnipe is an independent service. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or acting on behalf of eBay Inc. eBay is a trademark of its owner. Listing data comes from eBay's public APIs and is shown as eBay returned it; we do not control listing accuracy, seller conduct, shipping or returns.
Our verdicts are estimates, not advice
Every value, max-buy figure, melt calculation, comparable-sales range and BUY/REVIEW/PASS verdict is produced automatically by software — including AI models when AI appraisal is switched on for a search. These outputs:
- are estimates, and can be wrong, out of date, or based on misread photos or listing text;
- are not a professional appraisal, and no appraiser has examined the item;
- are not investment, financial, tax or legal advice;
- are not an offer, solicitation or recommendation to buy or sell anything;
- do not account for your own costs, tax position, resale ability or risk tolerance.
Verdicts are not purchase advice. Precious-metal figures depend on live spot prices and on weights and purities stated by the seller, which we cannot verify without holding the item. Comparable sales describe what other items sold for in the past; past prices do not predict future ones.
Your decision, your risk
You are the buyer. Every purchase you make is entirely at your sole discretion and risk, and you are responsible for your own due diligence — reading the full listing, checking the seller, confirming authenticity, weights, purity, condition, grading and return terms before you commit money. Do not treat a BUY verdict as permission to skip that. We accept no liability for any loss arising from a purchase you chose to make.
Automation and timing
Listings move fast. A card can be stale by the time you see it: the item may be sold, ended, relisted or repriced. Always confirm the live listing on eBay before buying.
