Mmm, I let them have it, too!

E bay and bidding
Don't bother! No matter how much you bid there's always someone who'll outbid you right at the last second.![]()

I am typing this post on a very nice phone that I bought on eBay for £85. It was in perfect condition and had cost over £400 when new. I also got my CAADX cx bike in great condition at half the new price. I will carry on buying!E bay and bidding

Well i just couldn't be bothered to put in bids while i wait days to see if i've been successful or most likely not. I only buy,or think about buying items with a set price,though sometimes you can offer less and it's up to the seller whether he/she accepts your lesser offer,which in most cases they will as long as it's not something daft like 40% of what they're asking.I am typing this post on a very nice phone that I bought on eBay for £85.

I can't remember ever selling anything on eBay though...![]()
Yes but isn't the successful bidder then paying over the odds for that item? By all means try to outbid the others,but not to the point were you've committed yourself to paying more for something than it's worth. I did this with a chair i fancied,last year. I just had to have it! I put inn a daft offer then realiased the chair wasn't really worth what i was offering. Ok,some will say if you really want it it's worth it no matter how much you're willing to pay,but let's just say on this occasion i was very happy that someone outbid my bid right at the end.Sniping is an art form. Don't knock it until you have tried it. Always satisfying nicking the sale with 3 seconds left from the person who has been bidding on it all week![]()
No you put your maximum in, it doesn't go bidding infinitum, but what it sometimes does is lull the other biffers into a false sense of security so as not to increase their maximum bid.Yes but isn't the successful bidder then paying over the odds for that item?

Interesting I stopped selling on Fleecebay because it was becoming just that, by the time you'd paid all the fees to them & Paypoo who they own it seemed like they were getting 25% in commision, all you had to do was get the postage slightly wrong & you may as well throw the item away as I was losing money.One recent innovation is for ebay to charge sellers who don't tick the option to accept offers.
The first thing I did was to see what similar phones had gone for in the previous months. Many had been sold for £100+ but a few had gone for less. My limit was £100.Well i just couldn't be bothered to put in bids while i wait days to see if i've been successful or most likely not.
