- 'Onbidder' Provides Instant Relief for Frustrated Shoppers

New consumer research undertaken by Z Group PLC, has found that 72% of eBay users are fed up of regularly losing online bids. Findings have indicated that eBayers are put off using the service as a result of this. They simply felt frustrated by committing time and energy into online bidding, only to be gazumped at the final hurdle.

Precision bidding over the Internet is the latest eBay trend to explode onto the tech-scene with 157 million eBay customers all competing for that ultimate shopping bargain. Launched in the UK in October 1999, eBay.co.uk is the UKs largest online marketplace. The research also indicated that 31% of all Christmas online shopping in the UK will be through eBay.

Onbidder - a brand new eBay auction winning software tool provides a solution to this problem by giving users that crucial 'shopping edge' by using an automated bidding system which simply places your bid in the last seconds of an auction, giving you the highest chance of beating your eBay rival. By bidding in the dying seconds, other ebidders don't have time to react. Once the bid is made, the item is as good as yours. It will also automatically track an infinite basket of pre-selected items ensuring you only win one item, at the right price.

Further results from the survey highlighted that a significant 86% of online bidders feel inconvenienced by auction deadlines, which often fall in the middle of the night. 67% of respondents also confessed that they have entered into 'price wars' and have often paid out more than they intended.

Jamie True, joint CEO of Z Group stated: "Customer feedback has shown us that a huge proportion of eBay customers are continually losing out during online bidding. We found they are frequently migrating or leaving their accounts dormant due to these issues. Onbidder provides the perfect eBay accessory by combining precision bidding and basket shopping functionality into one simple system, allowing the end user to bid with the discipline of an auctioneering professional! It's a great feeling that eBayers can now shop safe in the knowledge that they will be purchasing the right product for the right price."

Onbidder is available immediately from www.onbidder.com and retails at just GBP19.99 for an annual subscription.
