At least this one works from your own PC (and requires it to be running,
though that's not a problem with this crowd!) I was always concerned that
web app style ones "Auction Sniper" all require to know (and
store) your
eBay password.

Whilst eBay may have a secure password storage mechanism and it's now a
large company, these smaller systems may not have such good protection in
place and, in my mind, would be an obvious target for anyone wanting to
obtain a large number of valid eBay username/password combos.

If you're going to use 3rd party systems for bidding then I'd stick with
"local software" - no guarantees over the security, but
relatively better to
the web-based ones.
