Of using refresh all tabs in chrome during an auction snipe to have a better chance at winning?

And the thing Im talking about is having like 2 tabs open with different bids put in. Then just keep refreshing all so you have a better chance with the bid going through

    I don't think you can be frozen for that because it isn't cheating, it's just playing smart.

    Ok, any other opinions? I was told its cheating because a person without a third party thing cant refresh all of them at once. And if it is cheating, have any of you been frozen for it?

    I'm pretty sure that on a restocking guide I was reading on jn or tdn or something, they quoted an editorial that said using refresh all tabs was under the same category as using an object to hold down the f5 button, and therefore illegal.

    Ok, Im fine with it being cheating, but anyone know if they can even tell/how freezable it is?

    Probably if you refresh too much at an unbelievable right, it could be suspicious and they would think you're using third party programs or, like what Nanarie said, they could think you're using an object to hold f5 which would lead to a frozen account. But I highly doubt you would get frozen by just that.

    Well if it's just during the final periods of an auction, it would probably be easier to use your finger to hold down f5 than an object. So I doubt TNT will think you are doing that. Besides I think the poster was talking about having multiple tabs refreshing, which is not possible with f5.

    Anyways, I'd say it's illegal but I've never heard of anyone who's been frozen for it :)

    It's illegit but chances of being frozen for it are slim to none :/

    Finding the freeze rate for something as minuscule as that would be mind-numbing.
    Don't sweat it..

    It's tiny. Just like using Abrosia.

    If you're planning to do that, you should use Firefox instead. Apparently, people have been getting frozen for refreshing on Chrome vs Firefox cause the Chrome refresh rate is higher or something. For example; someone got frozen for holding down the f5 key while refreshing for the Snowbeast challenger a while back.
