Win at eBay bidding
eBay bidding tips
- Place your highest bid in the closing seconds, and you stand a great chance of winning the listing.
- Try bidding uneven amounts. If you want to spend $4.50, try bidding $4.52 instead - it’ll make all the difference.
Unlike other online marketplaces, eBay offers buyers the opportunity to bid on auction-style listings. This means that sellers can set a reserve price on certain products (often second-hand or refurbished), and buyers can bid against each other over a set period. When it comes to items that are less popular but more valuable to you - you could walk away with an amazing deal!
The tricky thing with eBay auctions is that there is usually a time limit. While you may have the highest bid for most of the time the product is available, you could lose out in the last few seconds if you don’t keep an eye on the product.
Bidding on items is exciting, but it’s also a contractual obligation. When deciding on a max bid, be sure you’re happy to pay that amount if you win the auction. Don’t forget; this price doesn’t include extra costs like postage.
Automatic bidding
Worried about losing a bargain that you’ve got your heart set on? Don’t fear; eBay’s automatic bidding feature makes sure you never have to miss out. Simply enter the highest price you're willing to pay for an item, and eBay will do the rest. They’ll make bids on your behalf - enough to keep you in the lead, but only up to your limit. If someone outbids your limit, you’ll get the option to increase your limit or let the listing go.
