Check the shipping cost to your location. Reduce the amount the item is worth by the cost of shipping. This places you in a binding contract to pay up to this amount for the item. If other bidders haven't matched your maximum bid by the end of the bidding period, you may get the item for a lower price.
The maximum bid you enter is not shown to other bidders. All they can see is the current highest bid. Therefore the highest bid you see on the item depends on both your maximum bid and the maximum bids of other users. You do not have to enter your maximum bid the first time around. If you want to keep the price low for most of the auction, you can enter a lower figure with your first bid. Your bid will start off at the lowest amount possible. Due to eBay's incremental bidding system, your bid will continue to increase as other buyers place bids until your maximum amount has been reached.
Only place bids you are willing to see through. A bid is a binding contract. As a result, you should only bid on items you absolutely want and your maximum bid amount should only be an amount that you are willing to pay. You can always raise your maximum bid, if desired, simply by placing another bid on the item at a higher amount.
Don't plan on retracting your bid. The only time eBay will allow you to retract your bid is if you accidentally entered the wrong amount and reenter the correct amount immediately, or if the item's description has dramatically changed since your original bid was placed.
Confirm your bid. Review the maximum bid amount once more to make sure that it is accurate and use your finger to press on the "Confirm Bid" option. Expect notifications. If you use the mobile app version of eBay instead of the mobile website, you will be notified whenever someone outbids you. Part 3. Choose a maximum bid amount with extra cents included. Most sellers bid in whole dollar amounts.
Many eBay auctions are won by a few cents. Wait until the last possible moment. The most effective bids are placed within the last 10 seconds of the auction. If you place your maximum bid well in advance, a bidding war may take place in which the bids of two or more buyers are continually rising in increments. Even if your maximum bid is higher than the other buyer's maximum, the other buyer has to opportunity to raise his maximum bid even higher once your maximum has been reached.
Open two browser windows. Type your maximum bid into the second window and click on "Place Bid. Reload the page every few seconds to monitor changes to the current price. Have the two windows open side-by-side, if possible.
Switching back and forth can kill valuable time. Switch to your second window, with your input bid, during the last 10 to 15 seconds. Click on "Confirm Bid" to place your final offer. Doing so this close to the end of the auction will make it difficult for anyone else to place a higher bid before the auction closes.

Know that you may not win the auction, even if you have the highest bid, if the seller has a hidden reserve price set higher than the amount of your bid. A reserve price is a minimum price on an item that remains hidden from potential buyers. Helpful 1 Not Helpful 0.
