advice for ebay auctions

I use two screens, one to refresh the time, one to complete the bid. Normally get it down to 5-10 seconds.
I really should get an automatic bidder program, I miss quite a lot just by forgetting they were about to finish.

Same here, two windows (sometimes more) one constantly refreshed to monitors time/bids and the others all preset with further bids that just need confirming.
 
quality, just won what i was after for 28 quid under my max
only thing i'm concerned about is that i've never used ebay before so have 0 feedback, hope that doesn't cause any problems

So long as both buyer and seller are decent people there is no reason this shouldn't go well. We all had to start on 0 feedback at some point.
 
the only rule I will give is.

Never bid when under the influence.

Also if you sell. always list on a Friday or Saturday night at 10 ish.

the past two weeks I have spent a fortune on stuff I did not even need, most of it I have sold losing a fortune in the process.
 
that's a good selling strategy, and probably works...bet there's certain items it works for more than other too..hmm

had to send a total request email to this guy, the shipping price was down as 'varies', but he has 100% seller feedback on 60 odd items so hopefully all is well :D

If you can get the highest bid in the last 1.5 seconds, you literally cannot lose the auction.

You can if someone enters a higher bid at the same time, there's just no time for a counter bid if you do get the highest bid in.
