If I'm interested in an item, I tap it into
the internet to see what is the cheapest
price I can purchase it for, this determines how much my bid will be.
P&P, look to see if any comparable items,
and check, I purchased a book recently, two
sellers (same item), one ?2.00 P&P, ?5.75
the other, that gives me ?3.75 to play with
for the lesser postage item.
If I really want an item, I will bid in the
last few seconds, quite often with a silly bid, in comparison to what has been bid, you
must remember, your bid is only the bid
increment over the next lowest, ie., if the
bid is in increments of ?1.00, and the high
bid is ?15.00, you bid ?20.00 to secure the
item, you will only pay ?16.00.
Apologies if this appears confusing, but
once you get into it it's quite easy and enjoyable.
Also, I've bought many items off Ebay, and
have never had a problem, and I prefer to
pay through PayPal, much easier.
