thats how ebay works, you pay for what you want...you need to do the same then if you want the item |

Because that's what smart bidders do. They wait until about 3 seconds before the end of the auction, and thow in a last second bid. It's the best way to guarantee you will win, because nobody will have time to outbid you. I do this all the time. |

Thats the thing most people do just to make sure they get what they want i suggest watching the poll and bid in the last 2-1 mintues just to make sure you get what you want good luck on your next bid |

if you know you will pay up to a certain amount and no more after that. then go ahead and bid that amount. the actual price may or may not go that high. it depends on the other bidders. its called "proxy bidding" |

If it is something you really want you should be online on ebay when the auction is ready to end so you can be the highest bidder or you can make your maximum bid the most you are willing to spend on the item and hope no one wants it more. |

you need to decide on what the MAXIMUM is you will pay for the item and PROXY bid. |

You need to wait until the last possible minute to place your bid. This is a strategy that top bidders use to win their bids. |

Cuz youre a cheapskate.....
To prevent getting outbid, this is what I do....I figure out exactly how much Im willing to spend on the item. If its say $50, I will bid that amount - the system wont bid the whole $50 - it will only bid to the next highest denomination (so, if its at $20.25 and you bid at $50, it will go up to $20.50 only....) Then, if others outbid the $20.50, it will keep increasing up to $50 without you having to keep checking it. Do this in the last five minutes of the auction, and you'll win most of them.... |
