  As the title says overall WOW, it just works (well admittedly I havent watched a bid complete yet but so far everything in seamless and intuitive). So genuine congrats on making this and thanks for convincing me to sign up.
  But obviously its brand new so a couple of oddities are to be expected. So just thought I'd let you know normal users such as myself get a "permission problem" screen when clicking on the dashboard screen from the forum page.
  Only other question I have is at the moment this is 100% free. Do you have an idea yet how you will ultimately charge, will it be a flat fee per win like some competitors or a capped % like others, or remain free in which case how are you funding this great tool.
  
  Cheers

  Hi Clive,
  
  Really appreciate the kind words. Hopefully all goes well with your first snipe, but we're still actively developing the platform so don't be surprised if you hit a snag or two!
  
  As far as rates go, we plan on offering pricing at a fixed 1% of the winning bid amount, likely to be capped at $10. We may also offer unlimited sniping for a fixed monthly fee if we see interest from users for this.
  
  For now, sniping is completely free as we're building out the system and want to build a solid user base to give people the chance to try out our service. Users will likely receive a few free snipes upon signing up (as well as existing users) once our pricing model goes live.
