I have one word for everybody that uses ebay and would like to win more auctions.

you can set it to bid a maximum amount that you want to bid and then leave it alone and it will automatically bid for you with only 2 seconds to go on the auction, that way you don't get into a bidding war with someone and drive the price up artificially. Your username will not even be listed on the auction as bidding until the auction is over.
