but here's the thing to bidding that way.. you may have been willing to only pay 20 or 30 for those shoes thats right now sitting at 25 but the other person's max bid is at 50 because they were willing to pay that much for them.. now with your 125 bid you win at 51 but paid 21 dollars over what you wanted to...
Yes, this would not work if you truly have a hard cap on what you're willing to spend. Even if $50 dollars is a super steal but you can only afford to do 30, this would not work. You would have to be a bit flexible with the price. Should have mentioned that.
@@CjcityTv Glad you answered this dude! I guess there's no way to know what number you gotta put with 6 seconds left. If the item is worth $100 and the current bid is $20, you have no idea what max bid number to put to win it, certainly you dont want to put $1000 because the current highest bidders max bid might be $250 and you screw yourself!
Just put the max as the absolute max that you are willing to spend on that item in the case that another bidder is close. Another tip is to add about .05 to .10 cents to your max bid Incase someone matches your max bid to the dollar.
please someone explains is this method is applicable with much higher amount let’s 5k to even 10k$?! The item am watching costs 20000$ and still won’t find it anywhere…anyhow the bid now is at 4K @ 92 bids ending in 48h Shall I use the 100 trick as n this vid or actually 1000 ?! am welling to pay up to 10k$ no issue😩
I won!!!! Thank you so much for your tips & tricks 🙏🏼 I placed my bid 3 seconds before the other bidder & still won because mine was higher & the other person didn’t have time to place another bid. Thank you thank you 😊
Good advice. A lot of people are quite naïve when it comes to buying on ebay. Your first point was quite important. Only bid at the last possible moment. The only reason you would bid any earlier is if you are busy at time of listing ending. Otherwise you are just telling other people that you are interested, and that changes their buying tactics. Not sure I agree with your bidding $100 over the existing price/bid though! My tactic is to just bid what you'd be willing to pay for it. Its therefore 100% risk free.
Yeah, that 100 dollar method is only for those who want to win by any means. Sometimes you might find a rare fragrance, or the perfect watch that you can not lose out on. That method is only for those would want to win by any means and hate losing bids lol
Heyooo I just won my first auction! Ebay does charge you *1 increment* more then the max bid, in my case, 3 dollars. Starting was 100, someone put 105, I put 135.76 and got it for 108! :D Cheers!
I really appreciate the recorded example showing you didn't actually have to spend the $100 over the bid. Good to know that strategy in case I see something I REALLY want pops up. It does bring up a funny hypothetical where you and just one other person end up doing the same thing and wind up overpaying waaay over that mark... maybe if I do $99 over the bid the other guy will get stuck with the $100 bill 😂
Ive been applying this system on my own for since I started buying on ebay.. and it has worked for me. I have never lost on an item that i really want... It boils down to how bad I want something vs how bad the other person wants something and who who is willing to pay more... I strike hard and fast in the last few seconds. I don't give them time to marinate or responding on my bid in the last 2-3 seconds.
Sometimes new sellers that only have 2 items sold really DO NOT have much to sell, and are just new. You can get something at great price from them , because they just want to sell fast and not into competition game... Its a risk, but I got some rare cool perfumes from occasional sellers that just only had 2 perfumes to sell
That sounds great, but if my competition watched your video here and also $100 more, then it seems someone is gonna get stuck paying $100 more for the item if both $100+ bids register right after one another. No?
Thanks for sharing the knowledge and for the live examples. Appreciate your work. Obviously, gotta do homework on max price before using this method, but a winner every single time. Nice. :)
Just bid 1 million dollars and you will win the item. it doesnt mean you will have to pay the actual 1 million dollars. Ebay has an automatic bidding system when the bidding closes your 1 million dollar bid will be reduced to just 1 dollar above the last bidder's bid making you the winner.
What if the next highest bidder who bids just before (7s left) you (6s left) put in like $100 for example and you bid $120 for example. Would you then have to pay $101?
Yo City! Thanks for putting this out there. I really got a lot out of your last eBay video but eBay has always seemed sketchy to me. Time to give it a try now! I appreciate you bro! Any chance we can get an update on who your go to eBay sellers are for decants/full bottles?
@@dawnblush its not a trick its dumb you should only enter the most you want to pay. never just put a 100 dollar bid. say you got a tool that is only worth 25 dollars to you but you put the 100 or whatever and someone else wants the tool but they want to pay 90 then your bid will be 92 dollars. the only way this would work on items that dont get bids or many bids or will never go to that price but u can end up paying some good money for something that is not worth it. all you need to do it enter your max bid. then another thing you can do is use easy snipe. its a 2rd party ebay tool thru ebay that allows the easy snipe to bid for you the last 3 seconds of the auction. i have been selling on ebay for 20 years. a lot of people swear by it. i personally never have used it but i run auctions on ebay weekly and a lot of them. this method will get you in trouble or inevitably put you in a situation where you pay more or have to ask to cancel and that counts towards your status on ebay. if you cancelled two sales in a year my store will not be able to but from along with many others cause us sellers can set the standard to shop at our stores as well. i can put someone with more than X amount of cancels or non payments will be blocked,.
So what if another guys max bid is greater than yours. Its possible that you could be over paying especially if someone else has a fake account and placing max bids
1st time eBay user. I searched for my item and a ton of listings appeared. Then, I tried to select Auction but the button is not enabled. What am i doing wrong?
@@paigeofstylez lol nah. Auctions literally end every sec of the day. I highly doubt any of us would be watching and bidding on the exact same thing.. Thats gonna be super rare
Umm, why would you not just put the dollar amount that you're willing to actually pay for it for the max bid. That way if somebody else has this stupid plan, you don't get screwed? Seriously what's the difference except there's no risk now?
Just bought my third bottle of Tuxedo this morning so now i am covered for life (375ml) they can discontinue now if they want lol. I dont wear it everyday so this will last me decades.
So even though I saw you place the bid hundred dollars and only pay one dollar more, I don't get how it works. If you place a bid for 100 dollars more, wouldn't you need to pay hundred dollars?
What if the last bid before the auction ends was $10 and I bid for $110, and none of the other bidders set a max bid, would I get it for $11 since that was the last highest bid, or $110 since there was no max bid to beat?
indeed! You can catch alot of people slipping this way and get some great deals. I just did the headphones as an example but they turned out to be wireless with a good range, even that seems like a still for 10 bucks lol
you did a mistake, or forgot to explain something.... why put 100$ on some hearbuds that maybe cost around 25$ new? imagine if the last bidder made a max of 90$.. you would won this cheap item for 91$
What if someone else is using this method? I set my auto bid to $100, but maybe someone else wants that too, just $90 for example. Then I have to buy the product for $91 when we both thought it would only cost $20. So what?
very good video. But at some point you can't just bid, you have to confirm the bid. Does it still work in that case? Why is it that the bid must be confirmed separately, but there are cases when confirmation is not necessary?
But if no one has done any bids. For example, the price an item is 38$ snd no bids If I but 100 $, what gonna happen in this case? Does the system makes me win of 39$ or it will cost me 100$?
When I put my max bid at £20 for a game eBay ended up putting a £20 bid on the game, The last bid was only £2.60 It never increased my bids automatically
but here's the thing to bidding that way.. you may have been willing to only pay 20 or 30 for those shoes thats right now sitting at 25 but the other person's max bid is at 50 because they were willing to pay that much for them.. now with your 125 bid you win at 51 but paid 21 dollars over what you wanted to...

Just put the max as the absolute max that you are willing to spend on that item in the case that another bidder is close. Another tip is to add about .05 to .10 cents to your max bid Incase someone matches your max bid to the dollar.

Shall I use the 100 trick as n this vid or actually 1000 ?!
am welling to pay up to 10k$ no issue😩
Until you run into people using the same strat and you pay $100 more than you wanted to...
I think this strategy is a bit of a gamble so it really depends on how risk adverse you are. Also if you feel others will bid $100 max, maybe do $99 😂
I won!!!! Thank you so much for your tips & tricks 🙏🏼 I placed my bid 3 seconds before the other bidder & still won because mine was higher & the other person didn’t have time to place another bid. Thank you thank you 😊
I followed your strategy and won an auction, I went in 1 min early and still won. You just earned yourself a new subscriber... The guy is super legit.

Yes it does...funny he doesn't address that
I was waiting for you to say “buy my program for 9.99$”. Great tips my guy!

What if the item is $1500? If I bid $2500 at the last second and the second highest bidder bid $1700 would I only pay $1701?
If you are bidding against someone else who uses this same technique, one of you is going to pay £100 for £5 baseball cards hahahaha
That sounds great, but if my competition watched your video here and also $100 more, then it seems someone is gonna get stuck paying $100 more for the item if both $100+ bids register right after one another. No?
I literally just did this and it worked perfectly 💪🏽 thanks for the info brotha!
Damn, this guy is really legit. I just won a brand new Pro-Ject record player through an auction at 40% off it's original value. Thanks so much!!
Just watched your video early this morning and tried as you said. For my item I saved over $1900 on my item. Many thanks. A job well done!!😊😆
Thanks for sharing the knowledge and for the live examples. Appreciate your work. Obviously, gotta do homework on max price before using this method, but a winner every single time. Nice. :)
Good thing to know some reviewers trust EBay. People just have to do their research on the seller
100%. Especially if you find a good seller with a low auction.. Thats the killer combo. Im winning everytime lol
@@CjcityTv damn right when I got your response I accidentally pressed confirm and pay on a $500 frag haul. Scared the shit out of me
Thank you thank you!!! I just did it and won!
I have definitely learnt something new today about eBay bidding, I appreciate it dude!
Bro, where did you get that shirt?
That's awesome.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. Does the $100 rule work in all cases? What if the item is $700. I will not be ending up paying $100 more?
Exactly, I would love to know this🤔👀👀
Thank you for the tips CJ
You rock brother!
What if the item is over 100 dollars can you still use the 100 dollar trick and does it still work currently?
Yes
The first video to explain this
Thank you for the helpful lesson and 101 on eBay!! It works every time ❤!! Appreciate it 🎉
Hey @CjCityTv is it still the same 2 years later? I watched this video all the way through and understood everything.
What if someone else is using the same method? They bid 110 and you go 115 now you’ve just bought a pop socket for $111. A win is a win i suppose 😬
Good info. I also look to see where it's coming from.
oh, absolutely! I filter mine by US only and don't even waste time lol
Thank you! I just won a Thinkpad I was all over about. Would not have happened if it wasn't for your help. Keep it up bro!
Just bid 1 million dollars and you will win the item. it doesnt mean you will have to pay the actual 1 million dollars. Ebay has an automatic bidding system when the bidding closes your 1 million dollar bid will be reduced to just 1 dollar above the last bidder's bid making you the winner.
Just applied ur method of the $100 and won!! Thank you! Skeptical no more!
just hope we dont meet other snipers lol
What if the next highest bidder who bids just before (7s left) you (6s left) put in like $100 for example and you bid $120 for example. Would you then have to pay $101?
Unfortunately yes🤭😬😬😬
That's why you only bid what you're willing to pay for the item.

What happens if someone else bids a high bid last minute and you have to pay more than you want 🥴
Yep thats the bad thing with this strat and ebay takes long to refresh for bids
i am surprised how many people are falling for this

Thanks for sharing this cool secret of winning a bid, I'm super grateful
Very cool! Gonna try this right now😀
still works in 2023 thanks! greetings from chile.
Excelent video, thank you !
Anytime fam! Got to look out for you guys!
What happens if nobody else makes a bid? Then you’re stuck with the bid you made and have to pay, correct?
Thanks alot for help i just did n sniped by 6 seconds lmao
So what if another guys max bid is greater than yours. Its possible that you could be over paying especially if someone else has a fake account and placing max bids

Love the shirt, I’ve got the same one as a hoodie
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for info.
Wow! EXCELLENT tip & content! I JUST did this (well a slightly modified version since I was scared lol - went like $60 up) and WON!
How much more did u have to pay then what u wanted did u pay 60$ more ?
this is an eye opener to me. can i pay later when my bid is approved?

Dope info man, thank you for the information.
Please I’m not sure I understand the explanation fully. Does the $100 above the max bid apply to products worth 100s and 1000s of dollars?
Yes 👏 yea
Anything but you have to want this item bad and of course make sure you're willing to spend what the item is being sold for in the first place.
How do you handle the Auto-bids?
theres an item i really want but the seller has no feedback...what's the risk?
Great inside tricks I learned a lot. Legit vid!
Umm, why would you not just put the dollar amount that you're willing to actually pay for it for the max bid. That way if somebody else has this stupid plan, you don't get screwed? Seriously what's the difference except there's no risk now?

@@mawckz that’s risky cuz if I’m tryna do this and get some cheap earbuds but someone else does this too I will end up paying hella money

Hey my man, I am going to use this technique of yours hoping🤔 that someone else has not watched your vid..because that would truly suck! lol👍😉🇨🇦
So even though I saw you place the bid hundred dollars and only pay one dollar more, I don't get how it works. If you place a bid for 100 dollars more, wouldn't you need to pay hundred dollars?
I dont know why it works, but it just does.

You’ll only get it for $110 if someone set their max bid at $109 (probably thinking the same way as you and using this same strategy).
this strategy wont work every time you will get screwed time to time unless your bidding on items that sell for shit $$ !!
I did this and won! Thank you💞🙏🏾
I came here after I got sniped on ebay. I appreciate the information.
I would not place more than a real price of a thing. This example with a +$100 was a bit extreme.
Great video! Great info for saving money.
indeed! You can catch alot of people slipping this way and get some great deals. I just did the headphones as an example but they turned out to be wireless with a good range, even that seems like a still for 10 bucks lol
To buy the item, why didn't you just click on buy it now but instead you first added it to Cart?? Why did you do that?
Excellent video and information!!!!
Thanks bro! Hopefully it helps you guys get some authentic fragrances for some steals!
you did a mistake, or forgot to explain something.... why put 100$ on some hearbuds that maybe cost around 25$ new? imagine if the last bidder made a max of 90$.. you would won this cheap item for 91$
Nice tips. And DOPE t-shirt 👊
Thanks bro! I like to see how many people actually catch the metaphor on the shirt! lol That's dope you caught it
What if someone else is using this method?
I set my auto bid to $100, but maybe someone else wants that too, just $90 for example. Then I have to buy the product for $91 when we both thought it would only cost $20. So what?
Great video man, like it
What if the other bidder has same strategy of bid 100 over? Do i just do 225 like some random number? Will i be stuck paying his 100 plus 1 more?
Bless you my man
very good video. But at some point you can't just bid, you have to confirm the bid. Does it still work in that case? Why is it that the bid must be confirmed separately, but there are cases when confirmation is not necessary?
This the content we needed!! Dope stuff again CJ 🔥
Glad to help fam!
I love that shirt you have on. I have been wanting to get one. Jesus is the Savior.
Indeed!!
But if no one has done any bids. For example, the price an item is 38$ snd no bids If I but 100 $, what gonna happen in this case?
Does the system makes me win of 39$ or it will cost me 100$?
great info
i have a question , if an item was example 600$ how much need to plusto that for win the bid? 700$?
Great tips I like this!
Thank you! Hope this helps you on your journey
So with any item, if I bid over $100 more than the current bidder then I will only pay the price of the current bidder with an extra dollar?
Yes. It works that way exactly.
Great info!
Thanks bro. Hopefully it helps you out moving forward
When I put my max bid at £20 for a game eBay ended up putting a £20 bid on the game,
The last bid was only £2.60
It never increased my bids automatically
