There's really only two ways to successfully eBay:
1. Use the proxy bid system as it was intended. Figure out what the maximum you're willing to pay for an item is, enter the bid, and walk away. If you don't win, it was because someone else thought it was worth more than you did. Even if the end price was only a dollar more than you bid, it's still more. Plus, there's no way to know what the winning bidder's actual high bid was. It could have been that dollar, or a hundred more. Either way, it was more than you decided you were going to pay.
2. Snipe. Put in your bid in the last seconds of the auction, reducing the chance that someone can outbid you. Again, put in your max bid... you don't know the current bidder's high bid, and there's likely others trying to snipe as well if it's a popular item. There won't be time to bid again if you time it right.
Whatever you do, never, ever, get into a bidding war. All that does is drive up the final price. There's always a bit of an adrenaline rush that goes along with any competition. Don't let it cloud your judgment.
Thank you so much for the tips I bid a few cents to see what happen and the samething happen but I will leave it as it is right now and in the end ill do what you said thanks ill let you know what happen
