Open every auction you want
One tab per item. Each gets its own watch, so the 8 pm auction and the 9:15 auction are tracked separately.
RefreshPilot · Use case
Auto refresh for auctions & bidding
Auctions are decided in the last 90 seconds — and a stale page is how you lose. RefreshPilot keeps the current bid fresh and taps your shoulder the moment someone outbids you.

How to set it up
Match the speed to the clock
Hours to go? Every 5 minutes. Last 15 minutes? Switch to every 10–15 seconds with one click.
Watch the bid, not the page
Draw a Watch Zone around the current bid. Alert when the number goes up, or when "You've been outbid" appears.
Keep the countdown in view
The on-page timer shows how fresh the price is — so in the final minute, you know exactly what you're looking at.
01 — The problem
The price on your screen is already old
An auction page doesn't update by itself. The "current bid" you're staring at can be three bids behind. Outbid emails arrive minutes late — after your chance to bid back is gone. And with several auctions ending the same evening, one always slips through.

Support kontaktierenIs this bid sniping?
No. Sniping services place bids for you, which many auction sites don't allow. RefreshPilot just keeps your view of the auction fresh and alerts you to changes — every bid is still placed by you.
eBay updates some things live — why refresh at all?
eBay's live updates are patchy, and they're least reliable in the closing minutes — exactly when it matters. A hard refresh every few seconds guarantees the bid you see is real.
Can I watch five auctions ending the same evening?
Yes — each tab runs its own cycle and alerts. The tabs dashboard shows all of them at a glance, and you can speed up each one as its ending gets close.
Does it work on smaller auction sites?
Any auction page works — estate sales, government surplus, local auction sites. If the current bid shows on the page, RefreshPilot can watch it.
