Ebay Bidding?? Okay, I'm a little confused about bidding on Ebay, I've used Ebay before and I've used both Bidding and "buy it now" format to purchase items, but my question is, if I'm bidding on an item and Ebay will automatically bid on my behalf and I only pay for what the auction ends at couldn't I just enter $999.00 for my maximum bid? Because I don't necessarily have to pay that amount it's just basically a guaranteed safety net right?
Ebay bidding? Please excuse me if this is a stupid question, but its my first time bidding on ebay, and i couldnt find the answer in the help section. So, say, an item costs $100, and my maxium bid is 200. If someone before me bid 180, and raised the item's "current price" to 105 (or whatever it is), and i win, will i have to pay 180, or 105? Oh, and if you got this information from somewhere else, could you please cite your source? Id like to be absolutely sure about this. Thanks and if its in the wrong section, sorry. feel free to suggest another one AFTER answering my question. I may post this q again. Well, about the 105, it doesnt show their maximum bid. it has this whole thing with increments and stuff. as i said, im new to ebay.
EBay Bidding? If i am bidding on an item on eBay, is there any way i can withdraw my bid??
eBay bidding? I have some rather "rare" items up for bid on eBay. This is my first listing, and I don't know how the bidding community works, in terms of them really wanting an item and bidding at certain times of the week. My three items, which are being sold altogether, already generated $74.00 within the first 8 or so hours of me putting them up, gathering 16 bids total. They are really worth close to $120. I have five days left on my listing so far. (It's up to $76.00 right now though) So regarding bidding, do they usually bid really consistently in the closing hours of the listing? Is there anyway I can contact my bidders and thank them for bidding?
How do ebay bidding transactions work? When I bid on a piece, does each bid cost me money. I ask that because those bidding sites do it like that. I wasn't sure if ebay did the same thing. If i bid 100 bucks for something but get outbid, do i lose any money at all?
eBay Bidding!?!? i was bidding on this book and its the high bidder was bidding 6.40 so it i needed to bid 8.40 or more. so i put my bid in and confirmed it but it showed that i was outbid by the same bidder. it showed he had bid 8.50 then. but last time i looked it was the 6.40. i kept doing it just to make sure i mistaken it and it did it again. it was like the person set his account up to where he was the high bidder no matter what. is that possible?
Does this eBay bidding seem a little suspicious to you? I have a used, semi-functional, iPod video on eBay right now, and there have only been two bidders. One of the bidders, we'll call him bidder A, seems legit, lot's of good feedback. The other, we'll call her bidder B, only has 2 a total of two feedbacks (both positive though) I looked up the bidding history between them and you'd think the normal bidding pattern between two bidders would be ABABAB, right? Instead it's something like this: BBABBBBBBBBBBABABA Why would bidder B bid 10 times in between? She kept raising the bid from $31 in increments of $2-$5 up to $60. Is this something that normal buyers do?

Who are these losers on Ebay bidding $2 for a $300 item? I see this all the time. Someone puts in a bid for 1/10 the average value of an item. Of course, they always get outbid, but why waste your time? Do they actually win these items? If my $300 item went for $1, I'd probably trash my Ebay account before I'd lose $299. Are they counting on some fluke where the seller miscategorized the item?

How does eBay maximum bidding work? I just started an eBay acount and I need some help please. My sisters says that you just put in the maximum amount of money that you're willing to pay (say $24.00) and then you watch other people bid. Say they only bid to $20.00 and then you win. You only have to pay $1.00 more then them so you end up paying $21.00. Is that how it works? If that's true, then can't anyone just bid $100,000? No one will ever get to that number. Say they only get to $60. Then you only need to pay $61. I'm confused. Please help!

Is it possible for your account to get blocked from bidding on ebay? OK, I was bidding on a lot of books. I saw them first, and I got outbid in the last 12 hours so I kept upping my bid. Well, I decided to wait and do a sniper bid at the end but when I tried to do it, ebay said I was logged out and every time I put in my account info, it would load me back to the same screen. I know my info was correct, it's the same account I've had for years and not to mention that it has NEVER logged me out like that. Was my attempt to win this item thwarted by foulplay? the winning bidder also has 19 negatives in the past month.
Has anyone noticed everyone bidding on Ebay cars have the same sort of user name with *** in them? I've been looking for a car on Ebay for about 2-3 weeks now and almost ever auction I check on has a high bidder that has a user name like T***6 or R***V or something like that. They all have *** between two letters and/or numbers. Is this an Ebay policy of changing the names to protect some security or are these actual users names? It doesn't do this for any normal auction. Any thoughts or experiences? If you don't know what I'm talking about just go look up any car on Ebay and you will probably see someone bidding on it with the same type of user name. Weird!

Interesting eBay bidding history and outbidding question? I saw an item on eBay starting at $0.99, I placed a bid at $1.5. As soon as the bid confirmation page return to my browser, it said I'm already outbid by another person. I bid again with higher bid, same thing happend. I kept doing that till 8 bucks, and the guy's still winning me. When I looked at the bidding history, I found my name showed up 11 times, one occurence after another. But that guy's name only showed up 1 time, and it's above all of my names. Can someone tell me what trick that guy's doing? I would perfer answers with lots details, like how I can do the same thing etc. Thank you. Please note that when the first time I saw the listing, it has no current bid and it's 6 days till it ends. If someone has placed a higher bid before I did, it would be shown.
