Why do ebayers bid on items days before it ends?
925443
Sometimes I see an item and I already know the maximum amount I would pay and I bid accordingly early on because I may not be able to get back to it or remember it when it ends.  Other times I do hold off till the last few seconds.  The latter is a lot of fun if you know you're going to be there when it ends.  Also sometimes I like to bid early hoping others will pass it by when they see the item already has a bid.  It just depends on the item and the price and the starting bid.

This is where the property is put up for sale and private bids are accepted, called tenders. It is like an auction except that bids can be placed at any time before the closing date and all bids are private so each bidder doesn't know how much anyone else has bid. It is also not neccessary for the seller to go with the highest bid.

Obviously, the higher you set your bid, the better chance of winning, but bidding at the last minute puts you in danger of perhaps commiting yourself to a bid you may have not really been ready or willing to commit to in the first place.  Say, for example, someone else has put a maximum bid of $1000 on an item, whether they were serious or not, and you decide to put $2000 on it, whether YOU were serious or not.  The auction ends after your last-minute bid, and you'r stuck paying $1001 for something that's probably only worth $2.50.  \n\nBottom line, just don't bid more than you're willing to pay, last minute or not, and you'll be fine.

The first thing anybody would see before clicking on a product on E-Bay is the headline for a product.  If it doesn't appeal to them in the first microsecond, they probably won't click on it.  Just my 2 cents, as I don't know what you're selling.

E-bay does allow you do list things locally.  That can save shipping and payment complications.\n\nAlso have a look at some of the free papers distributed in your area.  We have the Penny Saver and Buy-and-Sell.\n\nNote, if you list it at E-bay you can set a reserved bid so you don't get low-balled.\n\nNote 2, once listed on E-bay you can't sell it by another mechanism unless your auction completes without any bid over your reserve.

Your listing looks great- I love all the pictures. \n\nYou may want to work on an "about me" page.  Some people may be leery since you have 0 feedback so far, but everybody has to start somewhere. \n\nJust be patient, I am sure someone will just love having it once they find it.  Some people don't bid until right near the end of the listing as well.  You also might consider:\nChanging the refund/return policy to 7 days after receiving the item. \n$20 shipping is a bit high\nYou will ship within 20 days of cleared payment?  Yikes!  I would want it shipped within a couple of days. \n\nGood luck.

I am sure there are a lot of ebayers using Yahoo Answers as well.  The best approach is to simply ask the question and have a look at all the responses you get.

You have to be careful in your minimum pricing or reserve price.  People on eBay are looking for bargains, and many people's items go unsold because they are overpriced for THAT market (as opposed to the regular retail value of an item).  Try searching similar items, and on the left under the search box, you'ss also find a box to check for COMPLETED LISTINGS.  You can research what did and did not sell, and the listing or selling prices of similar items, so that you can price your items competitively.  Good luck!

The buyer or bidder cannot cancel a bid on ebay. You have to contact the seller as soon as possible and ask him or her to cancel your bid. They will retract your bid for you since they have the option to do so.\n\nClick on MY EBAY on the website. Then you should have the item you bid on listed on that page. Click on it. Then there is an option to CONTACT SELLER. Contact the seller and ask him or her to retract your bid. They will glady do it because they are the one at a loss if they dont cancel it for you.

It means the buyer probably isn't going to buy your item but you still have to pay ebay for listing the item.\n\nSorry man...$2000+ for that ps3 would have been a hefty profit.\n\nHere is the link:\nhttp://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fvf.html

THEY HAVE JUST RESTRUCTURED THEIR WEBSITE AND HAVE PEOBLEMS WITH THIS FEATURE I AM ALSO HAVING THIS PROBLEM - IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT AND EBAY IS NOT IGNORING YOUR REQUEST BUT IT IS S BUG IN THE NEW SITE

If youare worried, do not send your item until the payment has cleared and you have cash in hand.\n\nIn the future you can restrict bidding to your country only.

You might check into the auctions to see if there is a way to block unrated bidders from bidding on your items. Or maybe you could set a reserve.
