Donating YT 500 Club Member | Yes, you can see what their feedback is by clicking on the bidders name. A screen should pop up that shows the bidders profile and will include feedback they were left as a seller or buyer. I don't know why it's not showing for you that a bid has been placed. When I brought the auction up it does show 1 bid currently for your listing price. Maybe you need to refresh the page? Congratulations! Now you've got the first bid and the real auction can start!

| I have a store on ebay. Typically if you price low enough people will wait until the very last minute which can produce a nice bidding war. Before I list anything I decide what is the bare minimum that I want from this item and that is where I set it. Also, not sure if you did this but when you go to list you can compare your product with similar products that have been listed and it will give you a better guide sometimes as to where to start your bidding Or you can always choose buy it now with a make an offer choice.

| Sorry, forgot about the feedback. You should be able to click on their name and it will take you to their profile. When you sell you can set your preferences..including negative feedback, but remember, there are so many ppl out there that will complain about absolutely nothing which sometimes will result in an unfair feedback..hope this helps

| The serious ones will bid at the very last second..... that's what I do. I have my absolute highest amount I'm willing to pay and at the last second I enter that as a proxy bid. That doesn't mean I have to pay that amount. It means that the system will automatically make my bid just slightly higher than the other highest bidder.... up to my proxy amount.

They are waiting for tomorrow that's what. Unless it's a BIN...all of my bids on auctions are placed within the last 5 seconds of the auction's end. Sniping is a rush...LOL. That and no one can bid behind me. It doesn't matter whose name remains as high bidder all week long...it only matters whose name is there when the auction ends.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | If it's any consolation...I have had auctions which stayed low the entire week...and at auction's end sold for 250 bucks over my starting price

| You can decide not to sell it at all (cancel the sale) before the auction ends but not once it ends.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | You will have to cancel any bids placed on the item and the auction must have 12 hours left to run to cancel it. That being said...it is actually against eBay's rules to cancel an auction merely because of the lack of bids...people do it though. Personally sellers doing that...tick me off. I wouldn't bid again on anything else they ever offered. I won't bid on reserve auctions either...not unless there is no possiblity of another item just like this one...being available. Even then I will send the seller a message and ask what their reserve is. I do not waste my time guessing reserves..perhaps what they've set it at...is more than I want to spend. The majority of the time...I click the back button when I see a reserve...not much is rare with eBay...another will come along. Let me say this...see your one bidder? Right now...you have no clue WHAT their maximum bid is....someone bidding behind them will run that amount up. Even if that doesn't happen... snipers tend to BID high to insure getting the items...and sometimes that means...paying high. Another thing...some people just view auctions that are ending soon...haven't even seen your item yet. You'll get some bids tomorrow...earlier than the last few minutes. If I were you...I'd let it run it's course. Everything I have ever sold on eBay...I have gotten much more than I could've ever sold it at a yard sale or on craigslist. Plus look at this way....what's it worth to you if it's sitting in the closet???
