Also, if an item is worth $10.00, it tends to sell for $10.00 but using a snip bid can yield good results.Block out all personal information. Now I'm not saying that it always works like this. The sellers did not drive the price up for the buyer. 10 seconds before the auction is over, your snip bid kicks in and you get it for $8.50. because you are using a snip bid ebay's system does not drive the price up. If you used a snip bid and your max of $10.00 then I would have tried to low ball the seller and put an ebay bid in for $8.00. I've just screwed you over because I could "see" your max bid and just capped you by $.50. It stops ebay bidders from _not_ bidding their max and only working to out bid you by $.50.Įxample: You bid your max of $10.00 using ebay. It has nothing to do with bidding the max. So no one knows a snip bidders bid until it's too late to out bid them by $.50. However, what snip bidding _does_ do is eliminates someone from bidding up an item and then also bidding it up to $.50 or $1 more then someone else bidding using ebays system. There is no magical way that snip bidding will give any advantage over anyone else buying the item. They will either get it for up to their amount or they won't.

If I person is snip bidding they have no advantage as they simply enter the max they will pay and walk away. But if this happened, then you are just being indecisive. The only down fall to a snipe bid is if, seeing that someone outbid you, you'd change your mind and go even higher then your top bid. It also helps weed out those idiots who just want to see if they can get that $500 items for $100 and accomplish nothing but running the price up. No one gets to edge you out by bidding up your price to see if they can beat you by $1. Now everyone is on a level playing field and the highest bid wins. As we wait for another month of Duality to start ( is everyone excited) Star Trek Fleet Command continues to expand with more and more players. Only paid 11.50 dollars for 3 seasons, very pleased with this tool. Put max bid at 17.53 dollars at 5 seconds and 3 seconds as a backup. I use » Now you do as others have said and put in your highest bid. Can confirm, bid for Harvey Birman DVDs after a mini bidding war (only went for sniping after this). I could keep going until I hit your amount and add $1. All the while the price to you increases. I can now come along and bid $1 more, $1 more, $1 more, etc. If you bid $100 on an item that is currently selling for $10 then the bid becomes something like $11. This only serves to increase the selling price of the item (bad for for the buyer) and allows others to out bid you by a low amount (equivalent to to someone on the Price is Right bidding $1 more and shutting a person out). I would highly recommend _against_ placing a high bid using ebays system.
