TwitThisPlace your highest bid
Doing this at the outset improves your odds of winning. "Remember, eBay doesn't show your maximum bid or anyone else's until it's topped," says Collier. Fear not. If you win, you'll pay only slightly more than the bid just below yours.
Bid an odd number
You stand a better chance of winning if your dollar bids are unusual and the last two numbers are above 50 cents. "Most people bid in round numbers," Collier says. "So if you bid $27.57 and the next highest bidder stops at $26.50, you win."
Try a snipe
Several online services will place your bid automatically within the final seconds of an auction. For example, bidrobot.com charges $3.95 for three weeks of unlimited last-second bidding, while esnipe.com charges 1% of your winning price, with a $10 maximum fee.
