Bidding on Ebay
Has anyone here or you ever bought anything on ebay that you had to bid?Since there's a book that I want to buy and I was the first one to bid then another perosn/buyer bid, ther's still 6days, 20hours left, so I plan to bid the last minute so I win the bid.

i have bought from ebay many times and there are lots that do what your thinking about - bidding at the last minute so it is LUCK if you BID at the last minute and win because if there is a few more people waiting at the last minute you might not make it. I did that, waiting at the last minute and BID and won.. but becauase mabe my BID was of great amount that no one could outbid..

This was a long while ago, i think it was an iRiver 20GB MP3, my bid i think was around $490 since the player was expensive in stores back then and the bidding was like up to $430 so my bid of $490 no one could reach it because i was ready to spend that much..

Regarless if you watch the bidding processs till the end, you have to be lucky to BID at the last minute because there are others doing the same thing your will be doing, waiting at the last minute.

So I'll bid on the highest price on that book tomorrow.The problem is that the seller is Australian so things cost less there and I don't know how much Australian dolllars does it take to reach till $25 american dollars.Also I think that I'm going to face with this Canadian buyer.

I do my bidding 18 secs to the end of the bid but make sure you have fast internet access..

what does it mean like when a seller in ebay relist the book?SInce I have heard about that happens.

I think he might have another copy or more or either he had a reserve price on the book you bid on and he relisted it so you didnt win the auction because the seller has a specific price he wants the book sold at. Did you win the auction and received details to make payment for the book ?

I'm talking about this other book that didn't have auction a costumer just buys it.I have received some details to make payment for the book.

I think thats a BUY IT NOW auction where a buyer just presses the BUY IT NOW BUTTON and seller has many of the same items like 20 pcs..
