A bot is simply a program that is set to do something automatically. The best known example is a harvester bot, which automatically searches the web for email addresses, which it compiles and delivers to a spammer to use in mailing lists. So the putative "bidding bot" on eBay would be a program set to up the bid automatically every time a real person makes a bid. It happens to me almost every time I deal with sellers in Asia.
