Setup

Basic BidSlayer parameters may be defined on the setup menu.  This menu is displayed when BidSlayer is started for the first time, and when the user selects the "Setup" toolbar button or navigates to the "Options".."Setup Options" menu.

You must enter your eBay user name and password.  All other options can be left for fine tuning when you have experience with the program.  

When "Continue" is pressed BidSlayer hides the options menu and continues processing.

If this is the first time that you have used BidSlayer, or you have not previously watched any items then

BidSlayer will display indicate that it is reading items from my eBay.

Otherwise processing continues are shown here.
