1. Snipe at the Last Second
Bid in the final 5–10 seconds. Use tools like Gixen (free). Prevents bidding wars.
2. Set Your Absolute Max Bid Early
eBay proxy bidding works for you. Enter the highest you’re willing to pay — let the system fight.
3. Watch Ending Times
Auctions ending late night or weekdays have fewer bidders. Less competition.
4. Check Seller Feedback Carefully
99% positive is okay. Read negative reviews — avoid sellers with pattern problems.
5. Use “Buy It Now” Filter First
Many listings have BIN option. Grab deals before they go to auction.
6. Search Misspellings
“iPhon” instead of “iPhone”. Fewer bidders = you win cheap.
7. Bid Odd Amounts
£50.37 instead of £50. Beats automatic £50 bids.
8. Watch the Item, Don’t Bid Early
Early bids drive price up. Watching reminds you to snipe later.
9. Check Completed Listings
See what identical items sold for. Know real value before bidding.
10. Have Multiple Accounts Ready
One for buying, one for selling. Avoid shill bidding suspicion.
