This is something I've always wondered, cause ever since I've read this comic, I've wanted to do it.

It probably is possible, so long as the bot authentication isn't a problem.

I'd rather have a version that gives me a list of twenty of these 1 dollar products and I choose one.

I'd love for someone to do something like this. I'd so sign up for it. Maybe it should be you buy $1 gifts for someone else every day?

Yes, that would work right up until she gets mailed a half full bottle of anal lube...

I suppose you could try to write the script to avoid buying dodgy or disgusting items.  Then again...

It's certainly possible. As far as I can recall, eBay and Paypal don't offer any APIs for you to directly interact with, but it'd be relatively straightforward and within the realms of do-ability to use other, traditional screen-scraping methods (or even just a complicated AutoHotKey script)
