Seller Features
Auction Defender has the ability to highlight/filter auctions that you are selling. It can automatically sweep eBay and load all your auctions. It also simplifies profit/loss tracking by pulling the actual eBay auction fees and calculating profit based on item cost and auction fees.
Here is what some of our actual users say:

Why is Auction Defender better than manual bidding ?
There are many strategies for winning auctions at the best price. Maybe the most important one is to wait until the auction is about to close before placing your bid. The problem with manually doing this, is that you have to remember to be at your computer watching the end of the auction so you can submit your bid... You have to find the auction and keep refreshing the page...
Auction Defender can do all that for you, it can do it better, at the last seconds, and without the need to be at your computer. Sniping helps keep the price down until the last few seconds of an auction. By doing this, you leave no time for others to get notified, and reconsider their maximum bids. In addition to bid automation, Auction Defender provides a single interface to watching a large number of auctions at the same time, it is easy to learn, and has a number of advanced features to accommodate even the experienced eBay user.
What are Bid groups ?
Sometimes, you want to win one, or a few item(s) out of a larger "bid group". For example, let's say you want to buy a watch. You find 5 auctions you are interested in, however you only need, and are willing to pay for one watch. Also, the 5 auctions you're interested in may end minutes or days apart, may have different brands of watches, and you may be willing to pay different prices, depending on the exact watch you win.
Auction Defender allows for easily configuring a bid group, and adding all related auctions to it. You can specify to win a single item, or a number of items in the group, the price you're willing to pay for each item is configurable as well. Once the group is set, you are done. The program will bid until it wins the specified number of auctions in the group, then it will cancel the remaining pending bids automatically.
Conditional Bids ?
Conditional bidding is an advanced feature allowing for even more flexibility than bid groups. It allows for setting certain logical conditions to be met before a bid is placed. For example, you may want to bid on a "Harley Davidson Leather Jacket", but only if you win that "VRSC V-Rod Harley" bike auction first ;). Point being, with conditional bids you can easily specify a condition to bid on the matching "leather jacket" auction only if you have already won the "motorcycle" auction first. You can specify a string of conditions as well.
How does Auction Defender compare to other tools ?
Auction Defender is easy to use, yet has a number of unique features to accommodate both the novice and experienced eBay user. It supports single-click importing directly from Internet Explorer and Firefox (even multiple auctions), rather than typing auction numbers and copying/pasting auction URLs. The program even has an internal browser available to you if you prefer. It supports all advanced features you may need, such as bid groups, even conditional bids, multiple eBay user IDs, international currencies, advanced mass-importing of auctions, scheduled imports, advanced view filters, audio/popup alerts, etc. It is low-cost, with NO monthly subscription fees as some website services. A single license allows for use on up to 3 computers. It is secure - your eBay ID is not transmitted to our website, just to eBay as necessary to login/bid. The program can monitor hundreds of auctions with minimal network impact. It is programmed in C++ to achieve maximum accuracy with low memory/CPU footprint - it does not require MS .NET Framework, Visual Basic libraries or Java Environment. The software is multi-threaded, with the ability to place multiple bids, refresh auctions, synchronize your clock, etc. all at the same time. Auction Defender is designed to be intuitive, and use screen space as efficiently as possible. For example, the auction information in the "Place bid" dialog is displayed in the exact same order as eBay pages (including the item image).
Last, but not least, we are committed to fast program updates, and we're constantly working to improve the software - we listen to our users. If you're still not convinced, just email us for a free trial copy and judge yourself :)
Auction Defender saves you both time and money, it pays for itself in a couple of successful bids. Never again miss bidding, no more micro-managing and babysitting the last minutes of eBay auctions. Stop the constant clicking and refreshing of auctions, save your time and money - try Auction Defender !

Main Screen
Intuitive, easy to use interface that can be mastered in minutes. It is designed to use screen space as efficiently as possible, it helps you avoid the continued clicking and refreshing at the end of eBay auctions. Customizable color coded grid, icons, single click to bidding, easy opening of eBay pages using either the internal browser, or your external browser of choice. User can view all important information about auction from within the program, including shipping, BuyItNow price (if any), whether seller accepts PayPal, seller feedback score, etc.

Bid Dialog
Images are downloaded directly into the program, and information is intuitively presented in order that closely resembles eBay's format. Note that seller and high bidder feedback (as well as percentage of positive feedback) is also available directly in the program.

Importing auctions
Auction Defender allows for importing from "My eBay" watched/buying/selling/etc. auctions, from any eBay seller id, or even from any eBay auctions page like a search result page. You can simply paste the URLs of your favorite searches and save them for later import. You can even set a scheduled import so new auctions that meet the preset parameters are periodically imported by the program automatically !

Bid Groups
Auction Defender supports bid groups, where you can set to win only one (or a limited number of items) out of a larger set of auctions. Remaining bids after the winning group limit is reached are cancelled automatically.

Conditional Bids
Auction Defender allows for even more flexibility than bid groups with conditional bidding. With conditional bids, you can set a bid to be executed only after certain conditions are met, like another auction is lost or won. For example, you can set the program to bid on a monitor only if you win a computer first, or if you lose a previous auction for another monitor... You can even chain conditions for full, flexible, automated control of your pending bids.

General Options
Set your preferred international eBay site, date/time format, default snipe time, and much more. Many aspects of the program are user configurable, so you can fine-tune it to your taste.

Colors/Alerts Settings
The colors, alerts, and many aspects of the program can be customized to your personal preferences. You can have different types of auctions color-coded for easy identification if you prefer. Alerts, can be turned on or off, their sounds can be changed as well.

Every column in the main screen can be sorted and customized as needed. Program tracks all the important pieces of information about auctions, and you can specify what you'd like displayed, and in what order.

Custom View Filters

Single-click importing of eBay Auctions !
