  • If you now bid on an item, you must be the highest bidder to purchase the item. Of course, you have to check again and again that you have not been outbid by a competitor by logging into eBay several times a day. However, it is easier if you activate a bidding agent via eBay's automatic bidding system. Then set a maximum bid that you do not want to exceed. The bidding agent then bids for you. If a bidder has outbid your maximum bid, the bidding agent will inform you by email so that you can possibly increase your maximum bid so that you can continue to bid on eBay.
