Bid-O-Matic

This eBay sniping tool is offered for free, it is available in multiple languages (German is the main one), it allows you to easily manage items, it features an automatic mode, and it has a nice set of features that can prove to be useful. So if you want to manage your actions and snap items up at the last moment, Bid-O-Matic, or Biet-O-Matic for German speaking users, is well worth a try.

The installation file weighs in at 4.4MB, which is not much; the download will complete in a blink, even on a less than spectacular internet connection. Once you have this file, you will have to go through a standard setup procedure. This means you’ll have to run the file and click through the instructions presented onscreen by a setup wizard.

A list of the items Bid-O-Matic is monitoring takes up the main part of the application’s interface. You can list the items by end time in ascending and descending fashion. If you click an item’s name, your default browser will launch and you’ll be taken to that item’s eBay page. Right click an item and you’ll be presented with a context menu that features the options to Buy it Now, Leave a Comment, Delete, and more. Overall, the interface is fairly simple to use.

Bid-O-Matic features all the functionality you would expect to get from a sniping tool: manage multiple eBay accounts, easily add and track items, make bids automatically, purchase items, access an item’s eBay page, remote control via email commands, sync time, foreign currencies converted to Euros, shut down the computer automatically. Access to all this functionality will not cost you a thing – the application is free. But do consider making a donation if you like using Bid-O-Matic and want to support its development.

In the right hands, Bid-O-Matic can be a very useful and efficient tool.
