If you're serious about winning auctions on eBay, you need to go to www.auctionstealer.com You can can enter n bid for a specific item, it is held on their server, and then submitted on your behalf when only a small amount of time is remaining on the auction (you set the amount of time; I set mine to 7 SECONDS). The bid info is stored on a remote server, so you don't even need to have your PC turned on when the bid is submitted. I do so much on eBay that I subscribe to auctionstealer's unlimited service for a reasonable amount - I can use it to submit an unlimited number of bids each mont - but if I'm not mistaken you're allowed to submit two or three auctions a month for free, which is what I did to try it out. I highly recommend this website - it's really worked well for me (and, no, I do not have any association with it, nor do I receive any commission, etc. for getting people to sign up).
