Yes, be prepared that eBay veterans will have some programme thingy that outbids you by 1p 3 seconds before the auction ends and don't be too disappointed and try again smile

Google 'ebay sniping' and you'll get an idea of what happens.
If it's a popular item you've got no chance.

Doubtful with the C word in his opening post! :giggle:
I'm one of those ebay people though... and I watch till the last 60 seconds then bid! I never bid before that - I've only lost once. :mrgreen:

I do a very similar thing, I decide on a price I am happy to pay and in the last 20 seconds I place that bid.

Proxy Bidding
eBay have a proxy bidding system. The reason that many people use incremental bidding is probably because they do not understand the proxy system. Perhaps the expression "proxy system" puts them off because it sounds complicated. It could not be simpler. Simply make your highest bid, then leave it to eBay, which will, like most traditional auction houses, carry out the incremental bidding on your behalf. The great benefit of doing this is that in the event of a tie, or close tie, where two or more bidders are prepared to pay a similar amount, the one with the earlier bid take precedence.
Let's assume two bidders want to buy are example coin set, and both bid £700. The person who placed his bid on the first day would win, and the sniper would be the "underbidder" even though he bid the same amount, and he would have missed out on a bargain. The only way he could have won, would be to add to his top bid, i.e. bid , and he would have outbid the original person by one penny. This leads to an important point which is good strategy, or should that be tactics, for all bidders...
Add a Lucky Penny
Simply by bidding an extra penny, to your maximum bid, you would win more auctions, almost for nothing. Because any intelligent eBayer knows this, it can pay to add a slightly different amount. In our example auction, we would probably add , which should allow us to beat most "add a bit" tacticians.

sometimes teasing is just wasted! :twisted:
And sometimes reminding you of what may be found on your coffee table is not wasted :-)

I found that the trick was to put 2 or 3 pence on to outbid the one penny over people - then it got to the stage that I was bidding 11p over to beet the 10p over people - sometimes you just can't win.
Best thing is to simply put in what you want to pay and forget it - you win some and you lose some.

I wanted something rather badly once ...it wasn`t a high value item so I put in a bid of ...the final price was which I was very happy with .....the snipers were completely confused lol
Bit of a risky tactic to use tho as somebody else might get the same idea !!!

But don't you have to pay what you bid - i.e. I don't understand ebay confused

No you put in the highest amount you're willing to pay. Ebay automatically bids on your behalf outbidding anyone who bids against you until you reach your maximum. If no-one bids more than £56 thats what you pay, but if they put in a max bid of £150 you pay £151. If they bid £300 they would get it for £201. Easy really.
