but that's also what I'm talking about, those type of accounts piss me off! From your business point of view, yes that would make sense. But I think this type of thing has a negative effect on social media. Whether it's eBay bid snipers, fake Twitter accounts, or Instagram accounts that follow and then unfollow you to inflate their own figures, it's all negative and spammy.

    a bot that increases the max bid for an item at the very last second, so you have no chance of winning it. So annoying!

      Sounds like a huge time-saver, I'd prefer that to being hunched over the keyboard waiting for a eBay item to end
