Has anyone tried the new website eShill?
You as a seller list an item with a reserve, usually an intentionally high & totally unreachable one.
Bidder places a bid.
The eShill robot automatically decodes their maximum proxy bid amount & then places a counter bid exactly one increment BELOW their maximum. Bidder is on top, but this way, seller always has an auction end with at least the maximum amount, and if reserve isn't met (that's the plan, right), then you can sell privately outside of eBay for more than you otherwise would, and thus avoid all of those irritating fees.
Neat, eh!!
(LOL -- fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on your viewpoint, such site does not exist...)

I haven't tried that site yet but I have been thinking on using eTroll. It allows you to automatically post threads to multiple boards from a stock list of exciting topics:
How to make money from padded shipping.
The joys of shilling.
Grandmas + garage sales = profit.
I love PayPal
eBay's toast!
Pssst! Want to buy a Van Gogh?
I hate PayPal
etc., etc., etc.
One choice that looks very nice is the ability to select several IDs for the posts. This provides a lot of traffic for the thread. The AutoFight option allows you to have the IDs oppose each other. And the AutoFlame option looks interesting.
