I'm looking into using ebud but have a few questions......Does it actually work, Does it combine multiple winners onto one invoice like it claims.........Please give me any opinions you have on ebud as I'm looking into buying it today.

eBud WAS a great program to use at one time...When JOHN owned it.

Now, it's just another "not worth it" program that "Doubled" in price.

I quit using it.

(edited to add)- Not only did it "DOUBLE" in price to $39.95, but now it is a YEARLY rental at that price, not a FULL PURCHASE like it was at $19.95

Good morning,

I’m sure you’ll get a wide variety of opinions on ebud.

I’ve used it for about 1-½ years and still love it. Ebud does all the things you asked about and a lot more. I haven’t had any problems for some months now.

Even with its use I still double-check all information it retrieves from ebay. Also a good ebud habit is to back up data before you exit the program and copy the back up to disk on a regular schedule.

It’s too early to be posting!

I use eBud and I like it. It does combine winners of multiple auctions for you and alerts you if a winning bidder is current high bidder in any of your auctions that have not ended yet.

I bought eBud before the ownership change, so I don't have to start paying the annual fee for for another year and a half. When that time comes, I might change to another program.

But for now, eBud is just fine.

wynter is correct.

If you do use eBud...

BACKUP!-BACKUP!-BACKUP!

It has a tendency to make your vital info go *POOF* without warning. It's extremely buggy.

I would shop around a bit more before purchasing eBud, and I have been using it almost from it's inception.

I use to praise the program relentlessly, but in my honest opinion, it is NOT worth the price, and is not very reliable.

Also, you must double check EVERYTHIG.

You might also look into AuctionAmigo by Invenna. It costs $40, I think, but it is a one-time cost, not a subscription type deal like eBud. It does a lot of the same things that eBud does, along with having some listing tools, which eBud does not. I'd post the url, but sometimes, the moderators delete those posts. You should be able to find it easy enough if you just remember that invenna is a .com company.
