Day 2. Day 3. Jack's maximum is still higher, so eBay immediately bids on his behalf again and adjusts the minimum accordingly. Day 4. Jill is now the high bidder and eBay is bidding automatically on her behalf.
Day 5. The auction ends after exactly five days. That's how much she sends Sam via PayPal , and she happily receives her clock radio several days later. In the example above, two bidders Jill on two occasions and Ted on one occasion experienced the frustration of being instantly outbid by the high bidder because eBay was automatically bidding on their behalf. Automatic bidding sounds simple and great.
If there's an item you want to be sure to win, you can place a single very high bid to be sure that you win without having to monitor the auction for days, yet at the same time you can rest easy knowing that you'll never pay more than you absolutely had to in order to win the auction.
The complications and confusion arise for three reasons:. An increasing percentage of eBay bidders use third-party tools sites to schedule their maximum bids to be placed automatically just moments before auctions end. This additional level of "automatic bidding" is called sniping. Sniping tools aren't a part of eBay itself; they're third-party tools for placing carefully-timed automatic bids.
Often, heavily "sniped" auctions see meteoric rises in the last few moments of an auction, something that can seem nefarious and unfair to new eBay users. Sniping isn't against eBay policy, but there are both benefits and disadvantages for the bidders that use it. Because regular snipers swear by it and those that don't like it tend to feel the opposite, it can be a good idea to read about sniping and see comments from snipers, along with a discussion of their concerns.
At the end of the day, whether or not sniping makes sense as a bidding strategy for you depends on a combination of your own buying preferences, the kinds of items that you're most likely to bid on, and the amount of time that you have to dedicate to eBay bidding in comparison to the funds that you have available for your purchases. The combination of automatic bidding, auction sniping, secret maximums, and a large portion of users that either don't know about automatic bidding or prefer to use one-click bidding means that eBay bidding is a mishmash of different strategies, expectations, and possibilities.
It can take a certain amount of experience on eBay to really get a feel for how it all fits together, but in the meantime, beginners shouldn't hesitate to jump in and have fun. Who knows? Even if you lose a few auctions early on, you might also stumble a couple of lucky deals! Actively scan device characteristics for identification.
Use precise geolocation data. Select personalised content. There's nothing special you have to do. Decide how much you want to pay for an item and bid that amount. There is no other way or magic or trick to auto bid. Even if you just bid the minimum, you can end up with a hidden maximum if the prior leading bid is cancelled.
So, mechanically, you bid the same way you bid now unless you are using a 1-click bidding button that purports to put in a bid in an amount eBay says, in which case do not use those as they are not only tactically bad--they encourage bidding round numbers in an amount based on the current bid amount--they are outright dangerous in that the amount can change just as you are going to click , except that instead of putting the minimum bid or whatever amount you are now using in the bid box, you put your TRUE maximum you are willing to pay WITHOUT REGARD to what anyone else appears or doesn't appear to be bidding.
Tip: make your bid a little higher than the round number you are likely to come up with; this increases your chances of being on the winning side of what might otherwise have been a tie most bidders bid the round number and decreases the odds of losing to someone else who knows this tip.

There's no special way to place an 'automatic bid'. You just enter the most you are willing to pay for the item in the bid box. Before that be adviced to put your maximum bid, because if you are away from computer or have some reason not to watch the end of auction and you already have automatic bid adjusted and then the price turns out very high I do not think it will make you happy. There IS NO 'automatic bid button'. And there is no way anyone can EVER win an auction at a higher bid then they placed.
