Ebay can make you a bag of nerves!
Im currently watching an item that ends in 8 minutes on Ebay and my stomach has butterflies! I hate bidding, I'd rather buy items now! Its a horrid feeling cause you build your hopes up on winning an item and when you dont its a nasty feeling, but when you do! YES!!! Sure relief and happiness!
Does anyone else get like this with Ebay?
I make it a policy to only Buy Now on eBay.
JUST WON MY ITEMS!!!!
Sweet, my heart is going like a drum!
Haha, been there, done that. The PAL versions of Suikoden & Suikoden II were like golddust - there were certainly no buy-it-nows the month I went looking for them. But I eventually went into a massive bidding wore, and those suckers cost me about £60-70 each. That's some expensive gamin', right there. I'll sell them for a profit, though, someday.
Buy It Now is pretty much all I go for on eBay these days. I don't use it extremely often, though - I think I've only bought around 20 or so items in the four years I've been using it.
Winning Bleys' wood was certainly a highlight of my eBaying times.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Yeah. I got tired of getting distracted and losing things at the last minute, so Buy It Now is the way to go for me....
im bidding for a set of all the Patrick O'Brian (author of Master and Commander) books of the Aubrey series which you can mostly only buy in hardback at about 400 EUR. Im (currently) getting them second (still good condition) hand for 5.24 EUR + P&P if my bid in the final 5 seconds works out. Ive done it like that loads of times, and mostly been succesful! Only 2 more hours to go, and no one really knows these books that well, so...
Its too good to be true! I dont know what the hell the guy is thinking.
And to actually answer your question, yeah i do get the nerves! Only when its something I really want though or if its something rare im getting for a friend/relative

Doesn't make me a bag of nerves, but it does irk me when someone sneaks in quicker than I do in the last few seconds with a higher bid.

At around Christmas, my parent's were bidding on a Rasmus hoodie. It got to around £30 as people get bidding, and I was winning until the LAST SECOND. It said "You are the winner - One second left" and then I refreshed the page, and it said "You lost the item". How do they sleep at night
Im glad I lost it, as my parents did win another Rasmus hoodie that the price didn't go as high.
Buy now > Bidding
I bid on something, and forgot about it due to BG2, and lost it =(
What annoys me is people start placing bids on the day the items put on auction. So frustrating cause by the time its close to ending the price is huge. But sometimes people who put a bid in days ago tend to forget about the item, thats how I managed to get my lot!
I have never used ebay in my life, but I used to almost get that way when I did like neopets auctions!

I was pretty antsy when bidding on my wedding shoes. I couldn't find them for sale anywhere else and I wanted THOSE ones! I had to be at work when the auction ended, so I had to rely on my boyfriend to win the auction for me. And he did.
