Yet another newbie

to the forum !

Best of luck to you. Now think, What if you are outbid? Will you think you should have bid more? If the answer is 'yes', you didn't enter you max at AS, and you should change it. That's the hardest part about using AS properly.

re: picture. I think you have an unallowed space in there somewhere. If you need it, I may be able to help.

Hi and welcome. Good luck on sniping.
Remember, bid the max you will pay on AS. Then if you lose, the other person just paid too much..

Then also, make great use of BID GROUPS. Look it up under the HELP tab. It is great if you are looking to get a bargain, or an item at your price.
Best Wishes...

"Shop" and My Snipes

Hi and Welcome Mark

Re: the pix, its all the added extras that wont allow it to work...I had the same prob with a link the other day on another BBcode forum.

Sorry I couldnt resist a peak at what it was....



The below code will work....

As for the picture...

...well it doesn't seem to work
Nevermind

mark,

Change "<" to "[" and ">" to "]". Copy Lexie's code.

but I have a question:
I put a snipe time of 5 seconds, then why was my bid placed 25 seconds before the end?

mark,

If it was last night, then AS added extra time to compensate for ebay's prime time. Most amount of traffic is on Sunday's. So, to make sure your snipe got in on time, it needed to get in earlier.

If it wasn't last night, maybe you can leave the auction #, or at a minimum the ending date/time.

Yeah, it was last night...
Thanks, Rick

That's better...

Glad you won your auction

If you copy this code directly into your profile, you wont have any problems....

mark,



You can also use to post picture URL's. You'll see that icon in the "Instant UBBCode" section on the "Posting A Reply" page.

P.S. Use Lexie's code to add that picture to your signature.

Ohhhhh you were too quick for me LOL

Looks good (if not a little scary )

Lexie

Hi Lexie,


Mark,

Copy Lexie's example (the stuff in small type - not the last post but her post before that one), click on "MyPop" at top of page, click on "Profile" tab. Paste Lexie's example in "Signature".

No need to worry, Lexie, this one will never explode

Thanks again, Rick. I'm not used to that UBB thing yet...

Lol, Mark, that's cute!

I had a snipe placed to end with an 11 second lead last night. The auctiion ended at 20:30:09 and it was placed at 20:29:35 PST, so that was about what they were running at the time I sniped AND won! YAAA!

Congrats to all you winners.
I am on one of my dry streaks again. My competition has deeper pockets than I have and out max me. I just keep pluggin' away with my bid groups. Sooner or laterI will get one at my price.!!!
