I NEED SOME STRATEGIES ON HOW TO HAVE A PRETTY MUCH GUARANTEE WIN!!! Please!!!! OH YEAH AND DON'T TELL ME TO NOT GET BEATS!!!!!!

Type in the maximum you're willing to bid. Then eBay automatically bids on your behalf when others bid until your maximum bid limit is reached. You don't need to keep re entering a slightly higher bid everything you're out bidded

How often do they come up for sale, check out times, look around for stuff that is advertised without a picture, or spelt wrong, that can take a lot of finding, but if you have had difficulty fiding something then there will be less competition.

Look and see if someone has something ending at a slow time of day, less people will be watching, beware what is off peak for you might be peak hour elsewhere?

Put all items on watch and then look at what sold best and worst and try and figure out WHY?

There is software to help you sift out stuff including mispelt items, ebats, baets, or beast, you would be surprised.

Go into google and look for an ebay sniper site like esniper. A sniper will put a bid in for you in the last few second of an auction to give you a better chance of winning.
