Hi - I'd like to start using AW's post-management auction software. But I'd like to try it out first. I'm looking for someone to just bid on a made-up auction of mine (at 1 cent), then I'll immediately end the auction and try the software. Obviously no payment nor feedback will change hands. (I'm not trying to do anything illegal, I just want to test it.)

Because that would be bid shilling. One would have to create a second account and bid on their own auctions. Although there isn't any malicious intent, it violates Ebay policy and I've seen similar situations discussed where the user was suspended.
I'd suggest just "trying" it on one of your existing auctions. You can always switch back to whatever system you're using now, especially if you're tracking the process manually. However, I think you're going to like the PSM. I hope that, when they start charging for it, the cost isn't too outrageous. I can't imagine tracking auctions manually now.
