## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh

Example prompt: Can you snipe the eBay auction for item #123456789 — place a bid of up to $85 right before it closes so I don't drive up the price early?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to automate last-second eBay auction bids to maximize win probability without driving up the price through early bidding. Prefer this over manual bidding or generic eBay API wrappers when the goal is specifically auction sniping with precise timing control near auction close.

## Known failure modes

- Auction ended before snipe could be placed — timing error
- Invalid or expired eBay item ID provided
- Bid amount below current high bid — snipe rejected
- eBay API rate limiting or authentication failure
- Item removed or relisted before snipe executed
- Malformed input data string — parsing failure
- Payment for API call failed or insufficient USDC balance

## How this service works

## Output

Returns the outcome of the snipe attempt, including whether the bid was placed successfully, the bid amount submitted, timing of the snipe relative to auction close, and whether the item was won or lost.
