Need help on EBAY: Give me your tips

Okay, I WANT to win this bid I have my maximum price already set in my mind. Should I go ahead and place in my maximum bid for the automatic bidding or should I wait until the last day (gosh I hope I don't forget). Please help me!! I want to WIN this BID!!!!

I always loose the bid and I want to win this one.

if you're available around the time it ends, i would wait and place it last minute. if there are bids on it already, it means people are stalking it so you need to, too!
if you can't be around, post your max bid the absolute last time you can wait for it.

Thanks. Okay there are bids in already. I am going to stalk it out. Is it always better to wait to post the max bid? Don't they give first priority to the person that placed the bid first if there is a tie?

Oh, what is the absolute longest I should wait? SHould I wait for th elast minute or the last 30 seconds?

i always place my bids in the last 10 seconds... and i usually win.

Okay last 10 seconds? Is that enough time to raise your bid if you are outbidded?

thats the only bad part about bidding to late


kinda have to play it by ear coming down to the last minute. depends on the time of day the auction ends... i normally start with 1 minute to go.
