I used to win a ton of bids when I started, Since I rarely bid anymore I'll let you in on some secrets.
If you learn the tricks of the trade you will win more bids than you ever could imagine. Getting into a bidding war is foolish.
Here are some simple rules to follow.
Rule #1
Figure what you would pay to have that item and never bid higher. Don't think cheap think what it is worth..
Rule#2.
Never bid on an item on ebay, use a service to bid for you.
Rule# 3
There are automated services on the net that will bid for you in the last seconds of the auction. Your not trying to out bid or snipe s inomeone your just making sure you leave no trail or leads for others to bid you up..
Rule#4
Set your automated bid at what you think its worth and forget about it. If you think it's worth more then you should of bid that amount in the first place.
Rule#5
If you win you win, if you don't you don't.
All this leads up to on how to beat guys who snipe or shill bet for someone else to cost you more. There is also a way to trace certain buyers who bid on things you do. That is why you never bid on something through E-bay as e-bay makes it so easy for someone else to track what your interested in. You do all the leg work and they just find out what your bidding on and follow your ellectronic tracks.
