I use it for video games frequently. I don't bid until the last 20-30 seconds though. I am what they call a "sniper". Usually, I win! I always consider the shipping as part of the price. I also prefer to buy clothing in a LOT…usually a better deal while buying in bulk.

If the price difference is just a few dollars I'd just as soon go through Amazon…they offer fast shipping (free over $25) and if there is any problem with the item I can return it with no hassle.

For instance I was on the lookout for a large whiteboard for my bedroom for planning/organising purposes(at least a metre in length) – all of which were retailing for about $100+ in office supply stores. I picked one up off ebay for $35 from someone in a neighbouring suburb. That's a saving of 70%!

But yeah, it really depends on what you're looking to buy ….

I watch auctions and then wait to bid until about 10 minutes before the close of the auction. That way you avoid any bidding wars with other buyers. I've found that I can get good deals especially if an auction is ending on a Friday night. Apparently most folks aren't sitting home on friday nights watching e-bay auctions. I recently bought a new full size bottle of Vera Wang Princess for $21 with free shipping…on a friday night – most stores sell this for $45.
