AuctionShadow Helps eBay Shoppers 'Shadow' other Bidders

AuctionShadow.com announced two free services to help eBay shoppers search aggressively and bid securely.

ShadowSearch is an eBay search tool that uses other bidders' eBay IDs as search terms to improve results and be competitive. Security Services is a suite of safety checks that look deeply into a seller's record to create a comprehensive profile of the seller's eBay history.

AuctionShadow collects eBay IDs to use in "ShadowSearches." This allows AuctionShadow users to "shadow" other eBay shoppers as they bid. Users of this free service collect a few names of the eBay shoppers they bid against, enter them into the AuctionShadow account they create, and watch for results.

AuctionShadow helps the user collect and organize eBay IDs to deliver tailored search results. Alerts are emailed to the user whenever saved ShadowSearches find results.

AuctionShadow's second offering, called "Security Services," tells the user how diverse a seller's feedback is so the user will know how many unique buyers provided feedback to the seller. AuctionShadow also warns the user if the seller changes the content of his listings frequently, editing auction details in the middle of their run. These are two examples of security checks performed by AuctionShadow that are not available from other services, according to the company.

In addition to the ShadowSearch function, the more standard keyword search on AuctionShadow allows the user to do all his searching from this one service. Searches can be set to deliver auctions ending soon, and/or auctions with no bids. The user may find these auctions to be a bargain.

The Typo/Misspell search filter finds only auctions where the keywords are misspelled.
