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.
