Default Re: eBay...

I've used eBay a couple times. It's been a good experience so far. I bought two DVDs and a Domo-Kun doll. All three items were shipped promptly. I used PayPal to pay for the items which allows the seller to receive their money faster and then they can ship your product sooner. The only annoying thing about eBay are the other bidders. Trying to win an item and get the price down simaltaneosly can be hard. The trick is to wait until the last five minutes before the auction ends. Then you make a bid to see if the other bidder(s) have set proxy bidding (where you set a maximum bid amount and eBay automatically raises it by 50 cents I think every time someone else bids). If they have, you just gotta wait it out until the last ten seconds and then bid and hope yours was the last bid counted. If they haven't set proxy bidding do the same thing, wait until the last few seconds then hit your bid.
