Ebay - New Members

Maybe its me, but why is it that 90% of the time I get outbid by a new ebay member with O activity/feedback?

I just was outbid on something (an item that is so obscure by the way) by someone who just joined today. This happens all the time!

I wanna say that sellers are just making up screenames to bump the price but would that be too untrusting of me?? Chat Icon

That happens...I have had my friends bump up my items in the past, but I never create a screen name to do this...

Re: Ebay - New Members

There are 2 things you can do to UP your chances of winning.
You can make sure you wait till its >1 minute left and quickly put in a bid.
Or when you are making a bid it will ask u what the higest amount is you would pay and then Ebay will automatically bid for you up to that number.So no matter who bids on it even if u arent in front of your computer, you would win...

I always just try to be quick with my fingers and bid at like 20 seconds to go and hope nobody is quicker then me..
