Hello,
I am looking for a program, to check my listings on Yahoo, and if I am not in the top listed feature location, it will bid me to the top, but I cannot find one.

I list in a category that has some competition. The best way to get bids is to be in the #1 feature position, but of course there are a few people that try to get that spot, so I must check it every hour.

I am looking for a program that could check my feature placement every 5 to 10 minutes. If I am not in the top spot, it will bid me up to the top spot, but I could tell it the maximum I would want to spend.

A program like this seems like it would be easy to make, but it is well above me. If anyone knows of a program like this, please tell me. Or if a programmer can program something like this for me, I would be willing to pay someone.

I would be interested in a program like this for Amazon also.

You can contact me at [email protected]

Thanks

danteri,

I don't recall seeing any program for that task, but let me ask you what the costs are for bidding on "feature" positions.

Thank you.

Dimview,

That will depend on the category, but most of the time it is under $2.00 per day, often under $1.00 per day. But if you have an existing bid, and someone bids a penny over you (which is very common) the minimum you can raise your bid is by 10 cents.

Thanks

i did a quick search on metacrawler and came up with a starting point for you I hope. Good luck!

PS. Actually I don't think that's going to help much. Sounds like a good little program for someone to write though.

Thanks cuff,
But that is only for that auction. Thanks for looking.

You are right, it should be easy for a programmer to program and would come in very handy for everyone in this area.

If someone can program this, please email me at:
