Comment on How Can I Find Deals at eBay? by Carter

As far as misspellings go, you can use a site like ebuyersedge.com to search ebay for misspelled listings. Plus, you can create saved searches and get emailed when a matching item is listed on ebay.

Another idea is to use a sniping service for any ebay auctions you want to bid on. This helps to keep ending prices down by avoiding bidding wars and not giving enough time for manual sniping ‘nibblers’ to react to your bid.

Comment on eBay Descriptions by Mike knows What Sells on eBay

“Many people don’t go to much trouble when they write their descriptions.”
I agree; in fact many just copy and paste from the manufacturers, or suppliers website.

Here’s a strategy that I have found to aid in your item description; Describe the item as if you have no pictures. (of course you will have) but if you are describing your item as if you don’t you will find that it will automatically make you describe every detail, and also bring that detail to the buyers attention.

Comment on Do eBay Sellers hate BidRobot and eBay sniper programs? by Byron Gates, Jr.

I love snipers, I personally use one of the more popular sniping software programs. As a buyer, snipe software allowes me to manage my bidding in greater volume. For instance I wanted to buy a particular car for my personal use. I had bid on about 35 cars unsucessfully, mainly because I had intentionally bid far below wholesale hoping to snag a deal. Finally I snagged one at the exact price I wanted to pay, over $8000 below wholesale. My snipe program immediately shut down six other auctions to eliminate a dupe car purchase.
I typically have 50>250 auctions I’m bidding on and there is no way I could stay on top of that sort of action. Upping my bid or pulling out or any alt I might want to make.
Since I sell everything I buy from eBay on eBay, I hold for a few months, and relist the product for 50>100% more than I paid for it. If a sniper gets it, that is more than fine with me. May the fastest bidder win.
Long live eBay, long live snipping action

As a buyer, I love sniping programs… as a seller, they take away a lot of the ‘fire’ that makes auction bidding work. It is easy to defeat snipe programs. As a seller, in your listing you tell shoppers that you will be ending the auction early… at some random time in the last 5 minutes. High bidder still wins the auction and snipers are out looking for some other target, and everyone is happy.
