To provide a personalized auction service, data pertaining to one or more of a user's accounts with different online auction service providers (OASPs), such as URLs of the OASPs and account access data, is maintained in a folder by an information assistance service, which is unaffiliated with the OASPs. When the user calls the information assistance service, the user's folder is retrieved. The user's OASP accounts may be accessed on behalf of the user based on the URLs of the OASPs and account access data in the user's folder. An information assistance provider including, for example, an operator and/or a voice server, may perform on behalf of the user one or more operations with respect to one or more of the user's OASP accounts, including initiating an auction, for example.
