So, what you seem to be imagining here is people sitting in front of computers looking at the bidding and then deciding, with 6 seconds to go that they will now increase the amount that they are willing to pay, even though they haven't already bid that maximum they are willing to pay on the auction. You already know, from your own experience, that isn't a winning strategy, so how many of those people do you think there are ?... and will continue with that losing strategy ad infinitum ?... I can assure you most sensible bidders don't do that for long without changing their strategy and either placing their maximum bid early directly on Ebay, or using a service like this one to do it for them... because then at least they don't have to waste their time, as well as losing. You certainly do always want your highest bid accepted by Ebay, it's always annoying to see something sell at a price lower than you were willing to pay... Unfortunately being the last to try to place your bid doesn't always ensure that outcome, because, as you acknowledge, there's a bid increment rule that means any bid higher but still within one bid increment of the current auction price is rejected by Ebay. |
