Your using a program that gives you an edge, That makes you faster. Some poor person who wants a card or item may never get it because of these types of programs. I don't use them and i win 95% of the auctions i bid on. You people must be slow lol
For me - I use it because when I'm scanning auctions, and see one that ends in say 8 hours and 33 minutes, I will never remember to log back on in 8 hours and 32 minutes to place my bid. So I just set the bid through the program right there and then. Due to the ever growing problem of shill bidding I refuse to bid early.
In the end, remember HIGH bid wins, not LAST bid on Ebay - the problem is too many people don't understand that simple concept. Too many people are chained to the 'going going gone' method of auctioning where the last bid is the winner. That's not how Ebay works. Bid once, and bid your max. If you're outbid, then it's because someone was willing to pay more than you.
