Here's a sample screen.
Click on an auctions description to see that auction in your favorite browser. The description of the last auction you clicked on is printed in red to show you where you are in the auction list. Other auctions that you've looked at are printed in dark blue. Click on the status of an auction to change it to Watched or Ignored. Click on the price to set up a snipe. (See sniping)
Here's what the tool bar icons do:
Settings.
For an example of how to use the Category Editor, click
here. If you want to know how to set up options, click
here.
Update from
eBay. This updates whatever category is showing in the Category List. If
your Category List is set to All Categories, then every
active Category is updated. The time it takes
to update depends on your network connection, how may search URLS you are
updating and how many auctions are in each search.
When this is selected,
Auction Chief shows new auctions. You must Update from eBay before you'll
see any auctions.
When this is
selected, Auction Chief shows watched auctions. You must Update from eBay
before you'll see any auctions.
When this is
selected, Auction Chief shows ignored auctions. You must Update from eBay
before you'll see any auctions.
This is a
list of all your categories. The category listed determines which auctions
Auction Chief shows you. If All Categories is selected then all auctions
are shown. You must Update from eBay before you'll see any auctions.
This button
shows the next category in the Category List.
Clicking
this button causes the status of all new auctions to be changed to Ignored.
You use this button once you've scanned though the new auctions and switched
the status of the ones that look interesting to you to Watched.
This button
shows you the next page of auctions.
This button
shows you the previous page of auctions.
This button shows
you the first page of auctions.
This button
shows you the last page of auctions.
Here's the keyboard short cuts you can use on the main screen.
Home - Shows you the first auction screen.
End - Shows you the last auction screen.
Page Down - Shows you the next auction screen.
Page Up - Shows you the previous auction screen.
Up - Scrolls the auction screen up on auction.
Down - Scrolls the auction screen down on auction.
Alt-O - Opens the options menu
Alt-U - Updates from eBay
Alt-N - Selects the next Auction Category
Alt-I - Switches the status of all New auctions to Ignored.
You can select which kinds of auctions are shown on the main screen by pressing the New, Watched and Ignored buttons on the tool bar. You can use the Auction Category list to select a particular category to view.
The Ends button switches between showing the time left before an auction expires and the auction time the auction expires. If you select the actual time, it's based on your computers' time so you don't have to adjust auction end times for eBay time's time zone differences.
You can sort the main auction screen by the lowest current bid price, the highest current bid price or by the ending date.
