I hope I’m not teaching grandma to suck eggs but my strategy with eBay is not to bid until the very last few seconds (5 seconds normally). Often putting bids in early simply results in a bidding war putting them in with 5 seconds to go gives the competition no chance to counter bid.

The best plan is to use snipe software like "Auction Sniper", Auction Sniper: eBay Sniper and eBay Bidding snipe, bid sniping for eBay
You can place your bid at your convenience, deciding your maximum amount. The software bids on your behalf with a few seconds to go (you choose the time when you set it up), assuming price at that time is below your maximum. You don't have to watch or waste time worrying about pressing the right button at the right moment, just log in later and pay up if you won.
No, it's not free after the initial few bids but I put about $15 a year on it (£8 - £10) and that lasts for all the eBay bidding I need (quite a lot my wife tells me
)
