here. i'm on my first ebay bid and there is only me and one other person bidding. there is a few days left. So, is leaving it and putting in a higher bid at the last minute scummy or normal ebay carry-on?

p.s. nice dress

 

[Lili Marlene]

normal scummy ebay carry on, leave it to the last 20-30 seconds or less if you feel daring.

Keep in mind they might have a higher maximum bid than the one you see though

 

[oh shit]

very normal
i heard there's even a programme that will do it for you
ebay is swarming with hawkers and shitbags
not to put you off!

shit. is that like a reserve?

 

[oh shit]

no,
everyone enters a maximum bid, but only pays incrementally above what the next highest bidder entered as their maximum bid. so if someone puts in £80, and the next highest bidder put in £70, then the current highest bid that you see is £71

 

[Lili Marlene]

that's right

 

[broken arm]

ok i just upped my bid and instantly there was a match bid. i smell a (digital) rat.....

OR is that because the other dude has a higher max bid??

 

[Lili Marlene]

see, you're not meant to up your bid you're meant to put in your maximum bid. The maximum amount that you are willing to pay for the item

 

[oh shit]

when you upped the bid did it say you were the current high bidder?
if so, then someone is matching your bids.. if not you've just pushed it closer to the high bidder's maximum amount

i thought that's what I did. fuck this.

 

[oh shit]

it's best to set your maximum bid and walk away. otherwise you get that will to power thing that compels people to keep upping the bid, refreshing the page like madmen as the seconds tick down, losing all concept of money, just upping the numbers, beating the other guy down, just for that sweet taste of victory... until they've spent way over the odds on something completely useless. i call it 'victory tax', but others see it as a waste.

ha haa. there's no fear of that. the thing i'm bidding for would cost about 15 time more new. I'm suspicious it's so cheap and the other dudes bid appeared instantly and his name is 'bandit' something.

 

[oh shit]

bandit stupido

be sure to check the postage costs, you can get screwed with that if you're not careful

I'm guessing the expensive looking choker wont be included with the dress.
