You don't need software to do that. Just bid what
you are willing to pay, and e-bay will set your bid
one increment above the second place bidder.
Let say we have an item with $1 increment, and the
current high bid is $5. I'm willing to pay $20, so
I bid $20. I'm now that high bidder at $6. Someone
comes along and bids $10. I'm now the high bidder
at $11. Someone else bids. $15. I'm now high at
$16. Now someone bids $20. I'm the high bidder at
$20 cuz I'm first. Now someone bids $21. He's now
the high bidder at $21. All this without me doing
anything but submitting the original bid.
