Maybe bid once when you see the item, or not at all and just keep it on your Watch List. If you bid, don't go to your max price because others that bid on the item will jack your price up to your max. That sucks.
I'd always wait until one minute left to watch and keep refreshing the page every 5 seconds to see if others are bidding on it. Bid at 30 seconds (type fast because sometimes you have to enter your username and all that junk). Then bid with like 12 seconds left.
Don't bid and bid for the entire 7 days or whatever. That is so annoying when people keep doing that and just jack up the price. If you wait until the last minute, other people aren't out-bidding you and raising the price.
Also, if you do it at the last minute of the auction, make sure to enter a price that is your maximum bid. If you only do a small bid, someone might outbid you with less than 10 seconds left. If you go high enough, as much as you are willing to pay, then someone who bids with 10 seconds left will automatically get outbid by you.
And bid odd amounts too... like $5.67 or $9.91 instead of $5.00 or $9.50. It's easier to get a higher bid on someone who will just try a plain and simple amount.
It always works for me!
bid odd amounts, like instead of bidding $30.75, bid $30.92, it's harder for people to get a low bid, but still beat you. and ALWAYS.. REFRESH THE PAGE!
The best way to win on ebay is to wait until the last minute to bid on it and then put in your price. If you bid before then you are just wasting your time because your just upping the price. Don't go crazy though because there might be someone you are competing with who will spend whatever it takes to get that item. Just bid smart and you will get whatever you want!
Bid Late (snipeing works here). Bid an odd amount. Bid Once (at the price you are willing to pay for the item). If you lose the auction, console yourself with the fact that the winning bidder paid too much. The item most likely will be on ebay again.
