How Do I Bid on eBay?
Here is the insider's view: the ebay tutorial states: "bid your max"...eeek! Not a good strategy for the following reasons: if you put in your max bid, someone will inevitably outbid you. Why? well, thats the fun of auctions sites. Someone will always inch your bid up or outbid your bid. This behavior leads to increased biddng levels and in the end higher final sales. Although loved by sellers, it's not the best for bidders. You want the most you can get for the least amount of money.

How Do I Track Auctions & Bids?
'Myebay' is a feature available to all registered users. It will track your bidding history, for 30 days and will *watch* items for you. However, I strongly recommend you 'bookmark' all auctions you win. Ebay is not responsible for keeping track of any auctions. ANY auctions. Plus it will not archive any auctions. After 30 days it's very difficult to find the auction that you have won. This can be avoided by bookmarking all auctions you bid on and save them if you win.
