add auctions quickly just by pressing this button: Show Auction Basket options activates a small floating
stay-on-top window (Auction Basket Window). Use it to drop
an auction URL:
AuctionTimeWatch can display a message, open an auction
link, play sound when the auction is about to end.
By default AuctionTimeWatch displays a message and opens
the auction link when it is 10 minutes left till the endpoint.
You can change "10 minutes" to any other value:
1 day or 3 hours or to any other value.
How is auctions' status updated:
manually or automatically?
Auctions status update
You can retrieve the most recent information about your
auctions (like Current Bid, High Bidder) by pressing Refresh
button on the main AuctionTimeWatch window.
The other way is to setup AuctionTimeWatch to do it automatically.
In this case AuctionTimeWatch downloads the latest information
about your auctions and updates Auction List every 30 minutes
(this value can be changed in the Tools|Options menu, Auction
Watch tab).
Can AuctionTimeWatch help me to
keep my system time always accurate?
Time synchronization
AuctionTimeWatch is also a time synchronization tool.
This is very important to have always accurate time on your
PC when watching online auctions.
You can setup AuctionTimeWatch to adjust time automatically
every day (even every hour) or you can select Tools|Synchronize
Time menu item and adjust your system time at any moment.
I have a few important auctions
and I want to see at any moment how long is left till the
end
How long is left till the end
the auction
You can see how long is left till the auction endpoint in
the main window, where all auctions are listed. This information
is displayed in the Time Left column.
The other way is to activate a countdown (open Auction Settings
window, select Countdown tab and enable countdown). Countdown
is a small floating window that lives on your desktop and
displays the item name and how long is left till the auction
end.
