I have been auto-buying for years without being frozen, but only after having learned a few lessons the cold way. You'll be totally fine with a sensibly calibrated auto-buyer and a lot of patience. Just keep repeating this phrase to yourself: don't get greedy. Don't tune the auto-buyer to run too quickly and don't run the auto-buyer too often. Scoring valuable items is highly addictive, and you can easily lose your restraint with a lot of success, so again: don't get greedy.
Auto buying with Joes program is safe unless you're stupid with it :/
Even then, all ABers can only do so much. It's still your own internet connection that is the true source of buy times. Thats why I always got a laugh back in the day when everyone under the sun was showcasing their forum's "Fastest ABer on Neopets". They all work the same. If I hook myself up to a T4 connection, I'll get lightning buy speeds with Joe's ABer and another sites, lol. I personally like Joe's aber because it has a lot more features. I can auto-refresh on shells with proxys and buy on my main even.
