If you’re thinking about buying something on eBay, use these tips to place a smart bid and win the eBay auction on your must-have item:
Research the item before you bid and search completed auctions to see what price similar items have sold for in the past. If the item is new and can be bought in a store, do some online research to find out what the stores are selling the item for. Don’t overbid!
Make a mental note of the cost of shipping before bidding on an item. Add the shipping cost to your bid to get a clear idea of the total amount you'll be paying.
Check the seller’s feedback. No matter how high the feedback rating, be sure the latest feedback isn’t negative.
Bid in odd increments. Bidders often bid in round numbers (such as $0.25 increments). If you bid in $0.27 increments, you can win by just $0.02!
Have fun and be prepared to pay for whatever you bid on. Remember: In many states, placing a bid is a binding contract.
