I use ebay loads but do not use any auction tools or any of the Sniping tools out there.
The main thing they do is help you bid on auctions when you are not present so as long as you make sure you put a safe amount you want to bid, then the software does the rest for you.
Some software just has a good clock running and makes sure it places your bid at the last second. Its perfectly allowed to be done but very annoying when someone snipes you and you loose the auction by just a milli second.
As for the program that searches and puts all items under £1 or with only one hour left..... You can do this within ebay by clicking on the site to arrange the items in any order you wish, by price, days left, etc. There is also a link to all items ending now.
The only thing I would be careful with is making sure all the sites you use do not ask for your ID information and not ask for any payment credit card details.
Good luck ebaying. Its addictive isnt it ! Have fun
