This is the software publisher's description.
It's not always easy to be able to load up a web browser, keep logging in to eBay, to check the progress of your auctions or items you are attempting to sell. For instance, your browser will time out relatively quickly.
Prospector Lite is an eBay bidding tool that enables you to watch your auctions (and multiple auctions) from an application outside of your web browser.
Find what you want quicker, save time and win auctions. One click to replay all your searches, another click to see the items listed since your last search. Extra search types let you find items more powerfully than with eBay alone.
The free Prospector Lite allows 30 searches per day, and 15 free server-based snipes per month.

We've tried other bidding programs and we now have three licensed Prospectors users in our office.
We've tried other bidding programs and we now have three licensed Prospectors users in our office. Super product support, this is an author with an open ear and they really stands behind this software. User friendly and intuitive interface gets you up and running quickly. It follows the Microsoft model, so if you use Word or Excel (and who doesn't) you will be pleased. Single and group bids are always accurately placed via an internet server and not from you desktop, so can bid while your computer is off. Searches are saved in a tree format and can be repeated and updated right from your desktop! Unlike eBay, placing items on your watch list is a breeze and with business like customizable views. You can even import your "My eBay" items! For us Prospector is a valuable tool and this author is so confident that he produces a freeware version, so try it and then buy it, we need to support software providers like this one! Sadly there is no exporting of the completed auctions in Prospector to Excel so that you can track cost or keep transaction history. It would be helpful if Prospector had a section that would manage auctions (IE, item received, item paid, seller's info). Perhaps in future versions? Over-all a solid program that does exactly what it was designed to do!
