Ebay Bidding Tips

In this guide you will get to know more about bidding on ebay.

Ok then lets get started:-

1:) When you search for an item which you want to buy from an acution make sure you set your buying  preference to "auction".  When you select auction only it will only show the items which are for sale only on auctions.

2:) Next this is if you are in a hurry to get an item from auction you need to sort the items displayed as "time ending soonest". This will sort all the items listed and it will first display the items which are going to end very soon.

3:) After selecting an item from the list and make sure like i said in the other guide ,read the description and make sure the seller ships to your country.

4:) Now when you bid , make sure that you only bid within your available budget. To place a bid simply enter a price more than the current one which is shown in your left hand side of the screen.

5:) After placing a bid you can select the maximum bid amount you can pay to that item, meaning you can place your maximum bid so that if someone bids more than you and your maximum bid is higher what the other buyer has placed your bid will automatically increase than the other buyer's bid.
This is really a good method to win auctions i have won many auction in my life by using this method.

6:) The best time to place a bid is in the last ten seconds of the auction. This is because when you bid in the last 10 seconds other buyers will not have time  to react and put a higher bid more than yours.


NOTE:-

You are bidding on ebay means you are  signing a contract that if you win the auction you have to buy the item.

If you aren't going to pay for the item after the auction ends an unpaid case will be opened after 7 days of non-payment and even after that you still hesitate to pay, you will get an unpaid item strike to your account.

If  you get 3 unpaid item strikes within one year your account will  be banned from ebay and you will no longer be eligible to shop on ebay.

If you get 2 unpaid item strikes, you will find hard to shop ebay as many sellers set their preferences to "block buyers who have 2 or more than 2 unpaid strikes from bidding or buying".

So make sure you bid the correct amount and make sure you pay for the item if you win the auction.
Read my other guide to see how to cancel a transaction for an item you won or how to cancel a bid you placed.

Thank you for reading my post. That's it for now ill update this guide from time to time and keep you updated with latest bidding tips.

Have a great day.
