Default Ebay Auctions.... Final 15 Seconds

Posted By: T206Collector

...but not in the last year or so, so here goes.

If you bid at any time on ebay with more than 15 seconds left to go you are plain and simple giving more money to the seller without any advantage to yourself. Anytime you allow other bidders time to amend their bids based on what your maximum bid may be, you are more at risk for either paying more than you would have had to or losing the auction outright. In addition, you are inviting unscrupulous sellers to shill bid against your max bids.

People who "set it and forget it" are helping all the other potential players in an auction except for themselves. To put it bluntly, sellers love you.
