So, If I want to bid for a product, do I need to wait for the last minute or no?

How's that work?

I placed a bid for a product, but I don't want it anymore. And I'm winning. Is there a problem? Now, I want another item from the same seller, but the bidding ends in 6 days. So, what should I do? Is it that simple? I mean, I just forget about the item I don't want and place a bid for the one I want in the last minute?:confused:

I think you can recall your bid, try it. If not, how much over the current price is your maximum bid? If it's a small amount, don't worry, someone will probably outbid you.

I couldn't replace my bid. It's 8 dollars over the real price.

You need to email the seller and explain the situation. Most times folks are understanding especially if you plan to buy another one of their items.

Thanks, guys. I talked to the seller, but she couldn't understand English well and didn't really get what I wanted. And the other girl waited the last minute to bid again. That was good! I lost the bid.

my company is so cheap that they set up an ebay account to look and bid for computers.

apparently we got 2 of them for roughly $200. i sure hope that it was each instead of for both. but i doubt i will be lucky enough to be one who gets an "upgrade" when they arrive.
