Those people that outbid you might be using an eBay sniper application which places bids at the closing seconds of an auction (e.g. gixen.com). You could use one of these utilities yourself. Unfortunately, using these snipers is actually better for the bidder than using eBay's functionality (auto bidding) since you can keep your interest in the item, and ...

I get these "Daily Deals" mails too; I think eBay mails them to any active eBay users. Ebay's privacy policy is here as "Privacy Central" http://pages.ebay.com/help/privacycentral2.html (The privacy policy links to My eBay > My Account > Preferences > Notification Preferences but I don't see anything relevant there, mostly that's buying and ...

That's not how it goes. Any user can post a higher bid than your current one, there's only a minimun (the bid increment). If your maximum bid is still higher than the new bid, ebay will add the bid increment to the last bid and count it as your new bid, so you're still going to be the highest bidder, as long as no-one surpasses your maximum bid. Now to why ...

You can, however, go over to PayPal and look up your history. Reply number 5: We are working on a new feature that will let you see purchases from the last three years. We are ...

You need to use the "Advanced Search" (link to the right of the search button). Not just the "Advanced Filters" down the left of the listings page. In the advanced search you can select "Collection in person" (UK) (or "Local pickup" in US) under delivery options.

I believe some 3rd party eBay "sniper" software (which sometimes run as a web service, rather than desktop software) will do this sort of thing for you. The sniper software is generally used to automate the process of placing a bid in the last few seconds of an auction to increase the chances of a win. From techradar's review of "The best free and paid eBay ...

I've been getting the same emails. Instead of an unsubscribe link, there's this paragraph at the bottom of the email: You are subscribed as XXX registered on eBay. To change your communication preferences, log into My eBay and select the Account tab, then click on 'Communication Preferences'. Please note that it may take up to 5 business days to process ...

If you want to do some more complex analysis, there are companies like this one or eBay's developer program that will let you get at data in a more easily analyzable form than the completed listings search.

I think you are misinterpreting what the minimum bid is that the counter-bidders see. The bidder who is bidding against you doesn’t see your maximum bid. She only sees the current winning bid. So she only has to bid that amount plus the bid increment. In your example, where you have placed a maximum bid of $5 and you are the current highest bidder at $1.50, ...

You can try auctionsensor ebay search tool. You can search items by total price (list price + shipping fee). For example, if your max price is $50, and the item's list price is $40 and shipping fee is $11, auctionsensor will filter it out. It is free and no sign up required. Highly recommended. Some of the auction sniper software also have advanced ...

No, there is no such possibility, you have to look out for it manually. You can filter the items in terms of their actual cost only and not the additional shipping charges. Also I think that the Shipping Charges are only calculated once you add a particular item to your cart, select the seller from who you would like to purchase and give your shipping ...

eBay cannot remove the limit and leave it open ended. That idea is unheard of. Some manufacturers offer lifetime warranties on their products, but otherwise all retailers have limits on when an item can be returned and a sale can be reversed. You believe the 45 day limit is silly because you waited 50 days. If it was a 50 day limit, you would say it was ...

These emails are being delivered to the correct user as far as Gmail is concerned. Gmail is not sending emails to you, rather ebay is sending emails to j.harrop@g... which IS your email account, just as jh.arrop@g... and ever other combination with a . in it would be. All those combinations are tied to just your one account. I think your question ...

There is no catch as there are no iframes allowed for use in any eBay listing. You can't use HTML or JavaScript that: Calls remote scripts and pages automatically, such as JavaScript "includes" or "iframes." ... What you are seeing in some listings is how the server has chosen to render the listing according to the browser. In some it ...

You can't attach a "buy it now" after the auction is live, its currently in play. See here: http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fixed-price.html#changing Changing your listing format You can't switch between a fixed price listing and an online auction with a Buy It Now price. However, in some situations, you can add, edit, or remove a Buy It Now ...

Here's how to do it: Click My eBay at the top of most eBay pages. You may have to sign in. Click the Account tab. Click "Communication Preferences" (link is on the left side of page). Scroll to the bottom to the section labeled "Promotions and Surveys". (Click "Show All" to expand the selection). You'll probably see that all options are checked off ...

I spoke with eBay today after I terminated my account with them. I was told that changes and deletion won't change for 180 days!!! My customer "service" rep told me that I will continue to receive unsolicited emails for another 6 months. This annoyed the hell out of me and I asked to speak with a supervisor only to be told that because I'm not a member, I ...
