"Fantastic Program"
Version: AuctionSieve 2.5.6
Pros
Multiple searches save info on separate items
easy to use and modify
Easy to set up multiple linked searches that save to one list
Track price history of items
Eliminate 'spam' listings by simply clicking on them and choosing 'trash'Cons
None that I have found yet. This is a great program.
Summary
I have been using this program for years - it is such a fantastic aid if you are looking for bargains on ebay. I am having some problems getting it to work with Windows 7, but I am using an older version of the program. Hopefully, the new version I am downloading will work fine.

"CAUTION - CNET is trying to install another toolbar!"
Version: AuctionSieve 2.5.6
Pros
Don't know - I stopped installing as soon as I saw that CNET is trying to sneak in a Microsoft search bar! The default options are set to make BING your default search engine - just click "Next Step" and allow MSN to hijack your home page!
Cons
SHAME ON YOU, CNET!!! I am totally fed up with them pushing their stinking "toolbar" and trying to hijack my home page! CAUTION - if you download ANYTHING from CNET - they may try to foist this junk on your computer.- BEWARE - BE AWARE - BE CAREFUL!
Summary
Yes, I know that anyone can UN-select the options and avoid installing this junk, but why should they have to! If CNET thinks this is a great tool that their members should have, the honest way to promote it is to offer the tool bar as another, separate downloadable installer. Let the users read all about it and make the conscious choice to put it on their computers. But NOOOOOOOOO - CNET and Microsoft are conspiring to trick their users into installing this by sneak attack. PLEASE STOP THIS PRACTICE!!
Over the years, I have come to rely on CNET as a trusted source for useful software. Since they have started doing this sneaky stuff, I can't trust them any more, and you shouldn't either. BE CAREFUL! -
"Fantastic software sort, log, sift ebay auctions!"
Version: AuctionSieve 1.8.7
Pros
Finds unlimited searches with specific data - multiple types of auctions, whatever you want - and then keep track of how much the final bid was, etc. Makes it possible to really research something before you bid too high (or too low)
Cons
I didn't really find any cons - it has saved me HOURS of frustration!!

"More functionality needed"
Version: AuctionSieve 1.6.3
Pros
Quick, easy-to-read, condensed eBay searches.
Cons
Not enough functionality on searching like feedback totals and date ranges allowed by regular eBay searching.

"GOOD IDEA?!?!"
Version: AuctionSieve 1.6.3
Pros
Great piece of software for searching eBay. It more like eBay in an new way.
Cons
This program does seem to be jumpy, glitchy and quirky. Maybe its my system.

"Excellent free program"
Version: AuctionSieve 1.6.3
Pros
I've been using this program for about a month, and couldn't do without now... This program makes ebay seam much smaller. :) Automates nearly unlimited number of searches into ONE screen with photo's.
Very customisable, catch and trash words/phrases filter and organise auctions well- so you find what your looking for fast, and can configure out what your not looking for. Auction watch list updates time left, in real time- automatically gets final price. History saves auctions for price comparison. Overall, an excellent program.
Cons
Dosn't have specific categories for ebay motors- does pull (limited?) listings from there though. Setup can be tricky- probably unavoidable for all it does though. -I can't think of how it could be better done. IMHO- all it's missing is the ebay motors categories and a snipe bider.
