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?

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

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'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

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 .

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

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

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