I do have quite some experience using eBay, but I'm just documenting what has worked very well for me in the past. (And I do enjoy "the chase"!) Naturally people are free to bid the traditional way as you would in an auction house where the highest bid wins, but there that same amount has to then be paid, but eBay does NOT work on that system. You will only pay $1 over the last bid, and as mentioned it's a way to exploit it in your favour. Making initial low bids can test the water and flush out if somebody has put in a hidden bid, but invariably if the item is a desirable one, somebody else will do that for you. In innumerable auctions I have never ever encountered any failure in the computer system that has prevented my last seconds bid being accepted, and I'm working from Australia and more often than not bidding OS. Of course NO system is infallible, but the way I describe has a much higher success rate than showing all your cards to the competition right at the start. Try it or ignore it....all depends on how much you REALLY want the item up for auction. However if your shown bid gets trumped at the very last second and you lose something you were so sure you were winning, you will now know how it was done.
