ok. i am starting to think i am not doing somethin right on ebay. i bid on this skirt like 5 days ago, and i was the only bidder. so last night at midnight there was only like 3 hours left on it..when i check it this morning..someone else got it. wth am i doing wrong?
Tarae, unfortunately there are a lot of people who come in and "snipe" auctions...bid at the last minute to ensure they win. Your choices are to either check the auction in the final minutes or bid the highest amount you are willing to spend in the beginning and then accept that someone may come in and snipe you in the end. It's frustrating, I know!

There is an option on Ebay to "watch"the item you are interested in. I agree w/ Sassbox with the bidding at last minute. ebay will send you a alert when your "watched" item is about to end. Once you see it in the last minutes (literally) start your bidding. There may be someone else who is doing this same plan so stay aware and keep refreshing your page. Good luck!
(This is how I ALWAYS shop on Ebay, except for the "Buy Now" option)
girls i know nothing about ebay, so bear with me lol when you win something do they take it off your debit card automatically?
Nope. You will have to go back and physically pay for it through the listing. The safest way is to use a paypal account, but some do except credit cards. I HIGHLY suggest using paypal though. That way everything is secure.

Yeah, I usually wait till the last minute before I bid too. In the case of the kariza I just bought, there were no bids so it made even more sense to wait because if someone else was looking and there were no bids they would figure they had no competition so they might not bid as high. I didn't want to wait too late because it's been a while since I bid on anything on ebay and I wanted to make sure I had time to get the bid in, so I just put my bid in when it had about a minute left and then watched it tick down the last seconds.
Another tip: use weird dollar amounts. A lot of people will use even amounts or something with 50 cents or something like that. So if you have some weird amount you might have a better chance (like, if you put $20.13 as your top bid and someone put $20 then you've got it).
sooooo...finally with you girls' tips. i won something on ebay
tada. thanks ladies! ;D
Congrats! That is so cute! Also, I don't know if anyone said this already, but you can install "sniping" programs for ebay that will enter your highest bid at the very last second to help make sure you get your item.

I didn't go through 117 pages, obviously, but what I did read I saw that some of you ladies did some sewing. I made my clothes for Roo the last 2 years, but more from trial and error than an actual pattern. Do you guys have any/know of any good patterns for tops/dresses/skirts?
