Ebay Auction Bidding Tips

This may be not the best tips in eBay but I found it effective.

Before bidding, search for the item you want that will end in few minutes time, like 30 mins or less
you must have an idea how much is the market value of the item you want to bid.

For example : Iphone 2g current market value is in $250 or less, you must bid this item if it less than this price. Take note of the shipping cost as well, because this will be added to your total price.

Lets say I found Iphone 2g worth $150 in auction with shipping cost of $5, wait until last 5mins then try to bid.

- Bid $152.50 if your bid is outbid then theres someone who use the autobid function of Ebay.
- Try to bid again, this time set your max bid to $165, do this in last 2 mins, if your the highest bidder then were lucky because last few minutes will end soon, but if we were outbid again, then we need to bid at higher max bid.
- This time wait for the last few 30seconds. place your max bid for example $190
before you confirm your bid wait until last 5 seconds before submitting your max bid.
If we outbid the highest bidder then theres no way he can outbid you again because its over

If we won this item our total cost will be $190 + $5 shipping cost. Sometimes less than $190 because if the highest bidder is only $180 then it will be around $182.50 + $5 shipping

Note: I just won 4 Iphone 2g and 1 Iphone 3g in this style of bidding, which I prove to be effective.

Happy Bidding
