ebay stress
 

Is bidding on ebay the most stressful thing ever?
There's three hours to go and I CAN'T COPE :/

There is a site you can use to snipe bids Kizzy. If you put in your maximum bid and say when you want to place it (it will do it with 2 seconds to go). Then you can sit back and relax until the auction is over

Really, what is it? :D
How do you know what the max bid is?

You should try a real auction when you know what your bidding on will easily make 10X what you are going to pay for it and you are hoping no one else has spotted it

You have to decide what you are willing to go up to....and stick to it really..

Thanks Annie! I'll have a look at that next time :)

So basically become an expert in antiques or some such thing... yes thanks for that suggestion :laugh:

I've become an expert sniper on ebay but it is very stressful and when I get outbid at the last second I get well annoyed lol

Yeah I snipe all the time but get p'd off when someone else does it even though I do it all the time....:laugh:

Its better to find things that are badly photographed, in the wrong section and ending at silly times. Then you dont need to worry as hardly anyone spots them

I only ever use 'Buy it now' can't be doing with bidding.

Bunch of bloody amateurs

I'm the same. I always get carried away with bidding and get in the mind set that "I have to win" and end up paying a fortune :facepalm:

I won...... I need a valium :laugh:

Put your maximum bid in Kizzy ,no one else can see it.then you can relax a bit,you will still get the item at the bid price NOT your maximum bid(unless of course you have gone up to that amount .:wavey:

Thanks kaz, I ended up doing that just putting in a max bid and trying to relax. In the end it had 12 bids and came close to my max but I won :cheer2:

It was a Laura Ashley sofa, I'm sooooo happy :D

It's a great feeling when you actually win one,lol? I've been on there a lot after those LPS for Maia,some money to be made in them,she has about 80 now! but hopefully ,when she gets fed up of them,kids will still be collecting them.I hope you enjoy your sofa,I'm sure Duke will:hehe:

then you will always pay at least 30% more

crazy

Congratulations on your purchase. How much did you pay?

Nice work.

Same boat as Josy, only ever use 'Buy it Now' :laugh:

Yes I've learnt to only 'buy it now' for a while. Can't be doing with the effort and stress :laugh:

Effort & Stress = Paying Less...

ohai, that rhymed.

Yes you'll prob double your money :) Wish I'd kept all the kids toys would be worth a bit now the thomas, scooby doo, barbie and bratz things they had.
Sofa is for mum so duke won't get his fuzzy butt on it :laugh:

Does anyone have any selling tips?
