My answer to that is, it depends. Sometimes the auto bidder is useful and sometimes not. And, of course, it's always a risk. If you get too committed by spending a lot of TCredits, be prepared to go the whole way.
Auto-bidding usually takes a shorter time and costs more TCredits. No auto bidder usually takes a longer time but less TCredits.
At the beginning of an auction you might get lucky using the auto bidder if there are a lot of other auctions in progress. You still need to keep an eye on it though. You don't want to get into a bidding war with just one other person.
There are some auctions that do not have an auto bidder. For these I try to be the one to bid first and have several others try to beat the time from running out. This also works with an auto bidder. You can stop it and start it anytime. I often keep bidding until the others don't want to lead. This gives you a better chance to win but sometimes auctions can on and on.
What I do is watch to see how many people are bidding and if they are bidding close in time or waiting until the last second to bid. The former indicates heavier competition, usually.
If your computer is a little slow, it's a good idea to use the auto bidder. You wouldn't want to lose just because of a computer glitch! It's usually the person on auto-bid who wins but it could cost several hundred TCredits.
Have fun but stay within your budget!
