Myth#2: you should bid the exact amount you want to play
Fact: always add a fudge factor to your bid to avoid ties with another bidder.
We tend to think in round numbers or, at least, in numbers that represent increments of our monetary system. So, ebay newcomers tend to place bids on the order of $10, 20, 150 or once they start to get the feel for the venue, $75.50 or 525.
Unfortunately, that kind of thinking increases the chances that one of two bad things will happen:
?Your even-amount bid ties another earlier bid or the same amount and you lose the auction.
?Your even-amount bid is a few cents under a more savvy ebayer's maximum bid (for example, you bid $25 and the other person bid $25.89) you lose the auction.
You should always add a small fudge factor to your highest proxy bid to reduce the chances of ties with another bidder. If an item is worth $25 to you, it won't cost you that much more if you bid 26.78, for example, instead. Your bid will top the typical ebay newcomer's $25 bid and will trump oddball entries such as 26 or even 26.75. you'll still lose if
someone else bids $27 or $30 or 100 but at least you've eliminated the chance of one of those frustrating ties.
Every time you place a maximum bid, look at the size of the bid increment and make your bid little higher than a round number plus the increment. For example, if you're willing to pay $125 for an item, ace out another bidder who's willing to pay that amount by bidding $127.98 ($125 plus $2.50
increment plus a fudge factor)

Myth # 1 - The highest bid always win?
Fact: earliest high bid wins the auction. If you have the highest bid but someone else bid the same amount before you did, you can still lose the auction.
Wait a second! Why would someone bid the same amount as another ebayer? Thanks to ebay's proxy bidding system, you don't really know what the other buyers highest bids are, so it's quite easy to bid the same amount as another participant. In case of ties, the earliest bid wins. If you're confused, follow this scenario:
1. You find a rare Pez dispenser that you need to complete your collection in an auction with five days to run and with no bids placed to date. The opening bid price is $9.99, but this particular item is worth a lot more to you, so you bid $100 for it.
2. Thanks to ebay's proxy bidding system, which bids only as much of your original bid as necessary to make you the high bidder, ebay enters a bid of $9.99 for you. You're the high bidder.
3. Over the course of the next few days, others place their own bids, all of them less than your initial $100 bid. The proxy bidding system works as it is supposed to , and each time someone bids against you, ebay increases the amount of your bid on your behalf with an upgraded bid that's once increment higher than the last bid. The price gradually inches upward to $92.50 on the last day. you remain as the higher bidder throughout.
4. Then, with only few hours left to go, someone outbids you. The price has shot up to $102 and you're no longer the highest bidder. You're aghast at the thought of this rare Pez dispenser slipping from your grasp, and you realize that it's actually worth more then $100 to you. You'd pay as much as $110.
5. You type in a bid for $110 and submit it with two minutes left in the auction
6. The auction closes and sure enough the final price is $110 but you didn't win. What happened?
If you click the history link on the auction page to view the bids in this auction, you'll find that another bidder also bid $110 but placed that bid a minute and a half before you did. That submission topped your original $100 and moved the price up by the next increment, you bid $110, the price increased to the maximum and that was the price after the other bid of $110, you lost the auction.
Next time I'll show you all how to reduce the chance of this tragedy occurring with the next post.

It's really not that hard to do and there is a seller tutorial that can help you start off.

Hope that helps you. Personally, I wouldn't want others selling my items because there is no profit in that.
