Sniping On Ebay

[Swifty]

I'm a bit of a novice to selling on ebay and wondered if somebody puts a snipe bid

on something that I am selling will it show that they are watching the Item or not?

It's just I have a few bits on at the moment that finish Sunday and only 3 are

being watched , so not looking promising

hope that makes sense

Cheers

no snipe is something different to watching all you do to snipe bid is copy the item number put in you maximum bid ammout and it bids automatically i set my bids to 3 seconds before the end this way you are showing no interest in the item.

i would'nt worry too much most biding on items is done in the last couple of minutes.

p.s. what happens if 2 or 3 have all bid the same amount with 3 seconds to go, who wins ?

which ever bid is registered by ebay first.the others will simply be refused for not bidding high enough.

Have you put a link in the Ebay sales section on here, may get a few more watching. Also did you list your stuff on Ebay UK or U.S.

Ebay U.S. gets a better response, but it is a bit of an arse setting up the auction page.

Dave , not sure how to put a link up (bit of a muppet technically!) only 2 hrs to go now,

I also presumed when you put stuff on ebay that it went on all ebay (Doh!) so

I must be just on UK , how do I get on to US one ?
