sniping website

We want to create a Sniping service to Snipe ebay auctions for the UK, USA, Germany (and any others). Ideally it would be someone who has done something similar before. ? If you look at this site: [login to view URL] This is the kind of thing we want. ? This is what we want: 1) Account creation 2) Setting up an ebay 'snipe', including number of seconds before bid ends to bid, max bid etc (please see above site for more info) 3) The system will monitor the auction and bid at the appropriate time for that user. If the bids are already too high email the account owner to let them know so they can revise their bid 4) An email is sent out with success/failure etc Thats it for the first version. No payment requirements etc Some questions (and this is where I am looking for expertise): 1) Do ebay watch for bids from the same IP and if so is it an issue? 2) Depending on the answer from the above can you create a system that will bid from multiple IP locations? 3) Are they any obstacles or issues that we need to overcome here that we have not thought about?
