BEST EBAY TOOL EVER!!!!!!
Gray_Area:
I must not be bidding on anything seriously interesting to the average consumer. Thank the lourd.
I use ebay mostly for stuff I don't want to go to the store for, think - and know - whatever retail price is ludicrous, or they just have the lowest price on the item...although Amazon sometimes beats 'em out.

Amazon all the way! I mainly use amazon for most items. I also have a prime account so I get free 2-day shipping

Or you can sell your item for a penny. It's a dual-edged sword, so you'll need to acknowledge the risk.

Yeah, I've done that. Overestimated the demand for a couple of items and ended up selling them for a penny. And I never padded my S&H (even when it wasn't regulated) so that stung a bit more. Will never, ever do 'penny auctions' again.

I use hidbid and have done for a few years without issues.
While I do like to be the last bid, I will always put my max bid in the sniper and only ever bid once. I got over being outbid in the last second ages ago.
As a seller it kind of sucks but if there are two people that want your item regardless of when they bid you still get what they are willing to pay.
My biggest hate with ebay is when you get a real bargain and the seller decides after the auction that it is no longer for sale as they didn't get enough for it. Sure you get you money back eventually but I wanted the bargain. I've lost count of how many times that has happened to me.

I've only ever had that happen once- I won a control panel for really cheap, paid, and the guy never sent it. I opened a dispute and was refunded. Never got a single reply from the seller. But I've never had anyone tell me they weren't selling it.
