Someone could make a utility that you run on your computer that checks your email for "your item sold" emails, and then checks the quantity on eBay. It would then have to interface eBid to change the quantity. As far as I know eBid doesn't have an API to allow utilities to edit listings, it would have access both sites through the browser interface. Without an API, each time eBay or eBid changes its user interface, the utility would have to be modified to work with it again.
