Lets face it as a  BUYER there is no greater pain than GETTING SNIPPED at the end of an auction in the last 3 - 4 seconds. You find your item you've been looking for and the price (Start or Current) is right where you like it. So what happens here? Most of us will look throughout the day or put it in our watch list to see if we can get it at the low price. What REALLY happens is OTHER members are watching also and before you know it the auction takes off and you don't have a chance to get it or another member snipes it from you with 3 - 4 seconds left. Welcome  FRUSTRATION & DISAPPOINTMENT.

There is a great tool for All buyers to use which I use to the fullest advantage and thats the MAX BID block. As you place your bid  be sure to place your MAX BID at that time. Ebay will bid up to your max bid for you so you don't have to watch the auction in VAIN for the 1-10 day duration. Even better when your MAX bid has been met ebay sends you an email to let you know. This entitles you to eighter A. Rethink your current bid. B. Look elsewhere.

You save so much time and will have better peace of mind using this great tool. This way you do not get involve in a HEATED auction war and you don't get caught up in the moment (Could cost you more than you wanted) So put in your MAX BID and forget it. Let eBay do all you bidding up to your MAX BID for you. This gives you more CONTROL over your final bid and saves you valuable time & MONEY. Auctions are fun and should not cost you an arm and leg (OR HEADACHE)

Use your MAX BID to your advantage.
