AuctionGenie 4.2
AuctionGenie is created to bring you a helpful Macintosh program which can handle selling, bidding, tracking, and related activities for auctions listed on the eBay web site more>>
AuctionGenie 4.2 is created to bring you a helpful Macintosh program which can handle selling, bidding, tracking, and related activities for auctions listed on the eBay web site. You can use it to create and list your own auctions, automate bidding at specified times, track the status of auctions you're interested in (even those for which you have not yet placed bids), prepare transaction reports, send feedback, and manage post-auction transactions such as payment and delivery.
It is the most advanced and automated software of its kind for the Macintosh.
Almost all bidding and selling operations you can do directly on the eBay web site you can do with AuctionGenie, but you can do it faster and more efficiently and you can keep the auction information around as long as you like. For example, you can easily process multiple requests with a single mouse click -- sending bids, submitting new auctions, sending feedback, or notifying winning bidders.
At the core of AuctionGenie is a full-featured database that allows you to track auction activity offline. This database features all the characteristics you need to process your auction data -- sorting, searching, printing, and so on. Further, the auction data never disappears until you explicitly delete it, allowing you to keep historical information on hand that can be useful for generating financial reports or identifying market trends.
Enhancements:
- Several fixes were made to solve problems caused by Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6).
- "See item descripton" has been removed as a payment type option because it is no longer allowed by eBay.
- Changes have been made to the documentation to reflect that Dutch auctions with competitive bidding are no longer supported by eBay. If you want to sell multiple identical items in a single listing, you must submit a fixed-price listing.
