you can set this program to automatically bid for you, say, in the last 5 seconds of the auction. that way other ebayers don't have a chance to outbid you (unless they put in a higher ceiling bid than you anyway... but by waiting til the dying seconds you can lull them in to a false sense of security). good if you just plain forget to bid on things, too

also use it to keep track of your ebaying without opening a web browser.

i'll tell you if it works or not in about 7 days
