[quote="mario"]1. There is no eBay Romania, as you noted, so your best bet is to leave the default, ebay.com. This makes almost no difference - it may only determine what ebay customer support you will deal with if there is an issue. 2. Opinions differ here. Some prefer as short as possible. My choice is always 8 seconds, as I want ebay bid increments to work in my favour against other snipers. But again, in practice this does not make much difference - it takes very specific circumstances that it does. 3. You cannot predict the steps of ebay increments - bid in some circumstance can go up for less than an increment. Just put in your maximum bid, and don't think too much about increments. It helps, however, that this amount is not a round figure. I always use, for example, 16.07 instead of 16.00.[/quote]

Post subject: Hello there some info for a newbie :?:
Hi there guys , I'm Alex a newbie that I found you few minutes ago , and I say why not ....let's give it a try. I don't use eBay that much - but now that I got new hobby with watches, I might want to buy few of them from eBay. I have few questions that as a lazy mf that I am is easier to write a post then to search on forum :).
In my settings tab, there are some settings regarding my current location:
Your current country setting is: United States.
,
well I'm from
Romania EU
- I use ebay.com since there is no subdomain eBay site for
Romania
as for other countries from EU like
France has .ebay.fr
the main and mirror serv of my account are set to US
My question is :
=================================
1 .
Do my mirrors change accordingly with the eBay country I chose from?
Ex if I chose eBay France ex - I get mirrors from France - I mean even so does it make any difference for bids?
2.
what is the best offset for main and mirror ?
- I don't know how much delay those proxies have , the idea is every second counts for my items - like i said I want to buy watches and for some of them there are a lot of bidders like over 30 - so I need to know since is my first time I'm using this what's the delay here, what's the best offset for main and mirror to work for with.
3.
How do bid increments work with this tool ?
I know
eBay
has some bid increments depending on the actual higher bid. Ex : lets say the current bit is
70$
- it will end in 1 day - I assume the higher ending bid to win this will be between
120- 150$
- I will put in the my snipe list
146.5
- normally at this price the increments will be
2.5$
each(theoretically ) - so instead of
146.5$
- I should put
145 or 147.5$
- do this tool take my
146.5
as a
145
bid increment or I need to be exact the increment ?
Well that's it for now - hope you guys help me out with some answers , wish you all happy sniping , and a great weekend !
Kind regards , Alex
