To provide a personalized auction service, data pertaining to one or more of a user's accounts with different online auction service providers (OASPs), e.g., 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, e.g., an operator and/or a voice server, may obtain from the OASPs information associated with the user's accounts, which may concern an auction of an item desired by the user, and communicate the same to the user. The information assistance provider may participate in one such auction on behalf of the user.
