If you are a frequent user of eBay, you would know what most people refer to as “sniping”. This is where a user waits until the very last minute of an auction and then place their bids so they can get the item for a cheaper price. But you know what’s annoying? When you forget to make your bids at the last second!

I was talking to one of my German friends who introduced me to this free software which was released a few years back and is working for him, Buyertools Automatic eBay Reminder (this software is not affiliated with eBay).

Anyway, I downloaded the software (here is the cNet Download Link) and it basically is an eBay Account Control Panel! It is pretty easy to use and it displays all of the following:

1. Auctions
2. My eBay (Buy Item/Sell Item/My Messages)
3. Auto Bidding Groups (Automatically bid on items when you’re away - just leave the computer running!)
4. Statistics
5. Daily Planner
6. To-Do List
7. eBay Search
8. Calendar (organizes all your activities by days

I mean I seriously love this software and it isn’t a big interface or something, it is simple and small and you’ll definitely pick up what to do. In fact, here is a screenshot of their interface:

Here is a list of features which they offer (and I highlighted the ones I really love):

• Easy adding of items: importing from “My eBay“
• Automatic Bidding at a pre-determined time - up to the last second before an aution ends!
• Manual Bidding and Buy-It-Now
• No need to open the eBay Web site
• Automatic Internet dial-up function with dial-up guardian
• Bidding groups: prevents double buying of similar items when auto bidding
• Alert function
• Auction reminders as a free text message to cell phones
• search function for eBay
• Administer multiple eBay accounts
• no ads, no popups, no spyware

I personally like the fact that they don’t do spyware like a ton of other free software out there!
