CNET Editors' review
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.

"Works well, but does has some limitations"
Version: BayGenie eBay Auction Sniper Free 3.3.1.3
Pros
Easy & simple enough, it live up as advertised.
Cons
Isn't as prompt as others might want, and you have to leave your computer on.
Summary
This is what every Ebay bidder should have(except for those who are bidding against me). Just set it up, and do something else, it will do the rest. However, the free version does have some notable limitations. 1. There"s about a three second delay between the time the program starts and the bid is placed. Cut it too short and the auction ends before the bid is placed. A five second rule works for me. 2. You have to leave your computer on, and the program running for it to work. Set up the program once, and shortly after that, had to reboot my computer. It wipe-out the set up, and had to re-set the program up. So, if you work within these limitations, it will do you well.

Pros
No thanks, wasted my time and money..

I pointed it at an auction, set the seconds to 2 and it failed to put in a bid, I've since uninstalled it!

Version: BayGenie eBay Auction Sniper Free 3.3.1.3
Pros
Very easy to use. Just put the required information in and you are ready to go. Works great.
Cons
The only down side of this program is that you can't bid on more than one item.
Summary
I used this program to bid on E-bay and won the very first item I bid on. Very easy to use and works great. Just type in the E-bay item number and other information and you are ready to bid.
