Ebay biding / sniping script NOT using API (857514)

I need a script that would bid on Ebay items without using Ebay API. It would use the standard arguments - item number and offset in seconds. If it significantly simplifies coding, it can use local absolute time (eg. 01.02.2008 22:12:13) as an argument, instead of an offset in seconds. The script must either be easily turned into a standalone Windows application, or be easily called from my other C++ / Python programs. I do not currently need it to be placed on a server. However, I would like the script to be written keeping that option open for the future. Before bidding, the script has to access ebay site through a given promotional link. It may or may not require cookies management - you have to take a look at it. Please contact me for the details.
