For users who are frustrated by being outbid in the last seconds of an eBay auction, BayGenie makes you that last-second bidder. This unique software lets you automatically bid on a product as the clock winds down, no matter where you are.
This freeware program has a very basic interface that shouldn't take long for any user to understand. The bulk of the screen is dominated by a two column check list detailing a user's options with the free version of the software and with the paid version. However, the bottom right corner of the program will be what interests most users. Here you can set up your future eBay victories by entering your eBay ID, password, the item number you wish to bid on, your maximum bid, and how many seconds before the close of the auction you would like your bid to be placed. From here, a screen outlines your choices and asks you to be positive this is your choice.
This program is simple to use, but its major complaints come from its limitations without purchasing the Pro version of BayGenie. The biggest drawback is that users can only bid on one item at a time with the free version. However, if you don't bid on multiple items at once, this is a great download.

"You will loose your eBay bucks!"
Version: BayGenie eBay Auction Sniper Free 3.3.6.3
Pros
Easy to use
Good PriceCons
It places your bids on a non-US eBay site and you will not qualify for your eBay bucks due to this. I lost almost $40 this month due to this!
Summary
If it did not cause me to lose my eBay bucks I would give it 5 stars.

"TWO THUMBS DOWN!"
Version: BayGenie eBay Auction Sniper Free 3.3.6.3
Pros
Snipes can be set up to 1 second before the auction ends. Priced competitively.
Cons
Now that BayGenie has established a larger following, addressing issues or questions no longer seems to be a priority (POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE). Been with BayGenie since their beta days and LOVED everything up until a few weeks ago. Too many issues that should be an easy fix on the developer end. Not sure if they just dont care anymore or what?
Summary
BayGenie, please fix the issues so we can love you again!

"Did not bid afer I closed its window!"
Version: BayGenie eBay Auction Sniper Free 3.3.6.3
Pros
I have no idea if it even works at this time.
Cons
I put in a bid on ebay, figured it would keep the bid active, closed the bygenie box window - and guess what: NO BID WAS MADE.
-
"Mostly lose items to people with lower bids."
Version: BayGenie eBay Auction Sniper Free 3.3.6.3
Pros
About 30% of the time I get a successful bid in.
Cons
But mostly ebay bid history will show that I have been out bid by someone with a lower max and my user name does not appear at all in the bidding history.
Summary
You stand a better chance at sitting at the "place bid" button on your own. Most of my bids never show up on bidding history of the sold item.
