I need some big time help! There are two identical items up for bid on Ebay and I would like one (and only one) of these items. They are up for bid by the same seller and they close within about 2 minutes of each other. I want to make sure I'm doing this right...I set up a Bid Group and moved these two snipes to this bid group and gave them both the same high bid amount. Am I doing this right? I am clueless!! I don't want to end up with two boys blazers that are exactly the same! Thanks for your help!

Hi Polly and Welcome to the forum.

So long as you are sure!! that the folder is a bidgroup it sounds like you are set to go!!

Just some other little pointers...make your snipe amount an odd number...like instead of $20, make it $20.47 or something along those lines, it may mean you win by a few extra cents. Also make sure you have predetermined your "MAX" snipe, so that you dont have any buyers remorse. Either "Shoot!! I would of paid that much" or "OMG!! I cant believe I paid that much" - you have to find the sweet spot in the middle.

Good Luck!! Let us know how you go.

Thanks so much for your reply. Yes, I did give the high bid an odd number. I just hope it's set to go....we'll see..I think it doesn't end until next Tuesday.
Thanks so much

Anytime Polly I hate it when you find an item and it doesnt end foreeever!! I like it when I find them and they end on the same day. No waiting required.

Hope it all turns out

I double checked your account and it's set up correctly and ready to go.

Polly,
to our AS forum!

Well, it worked!! I got the first item up for bid AND it was $10 less than the maximum I had planned to bid. Wahoo! thanks for your help!
