Just announced by eBay is Bid Assistant. This will be a new tool available to buyers where you can set up bids on groups of items. So if you want, say, a PS3 you can have five items in your group and the Bid Assistant will bid on them until you win one.
Full info at:
http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/buy/bid-assistant.html
Not so sure about this myself as nothing is worth more than personally waiting until an auction ends and sticking in your best bid, whereas this looks like a reckless way to spend your maximum and not get a bargain.
Anyone else make any sense of it yet?

Yes, it looks like they borrowed a few ideas from some of freeware sniper tools, such as buyertools reminder.
That too has a group bidding function that turns off bidding on any remaining auctions if you manage to win the earliest or subsequent auctions in the group
I also noticed that the ebay one only allows one of the group to be active at any one time, if you have a sniping service/ autobidding you could have as many on the go at any one time, as any winning bid would automatically shut down others in the group
buyertools has the bonus of the sniper function, which I am not sure the ebay one does, and I love sniping, especially at 3 am whilst I'm asleep.
Sorry ebay, you're still a few steps behind
