Help...ebay!!!??

Question

Okay, does anyone have any tips on a good way to ensure that you get an item on ebay? Don't people rush in at the very last second to bid? Help?!

Thanks so much!!

Also...I don't know if this is in the right section, I didn't know what section to put it in exactly, so I apologize if this is the wrong place!

OK, It is called sniping. Almost everyone waits for the last minute of auction to bid.. Always bid what you are willing to pay. NOT the minimum amount.. It will only go as high as the last high bid.. It won`t automatically take all your bid. If you bid 7.00 and the item is 2.99 and no one bids you will pay 2.99 plus shipping. But if someone else comes in and bids, oh say, 3.25. It will jump your bid up to 3.50 until it reaches your top amount of cash offer and then it stops.. But the trick is to wait until the very last of auction. There are some programs that you can find that will do this for you. But really I don`t know anyone who uses them..

One last warning. Always check the feedback of the person you are buying from to get an idea if they s***w people or not.

Good luck and have fun..  Most people are honest but ya know there is always that one... LOL

Answer 2

what i do is wait tell the last 10 seconds and start to bid and get the over price...once i get the high price i put in the reserve price for 10 bucks more....its a ninja attack and by the time its done there is no time to stop it
