[QUOTE="TK-7785, post: 501977, member: 8868"] They Won't be able to see your maximum bid, but it does let others know who may be watching the lot they have competition. If it's an item I'm not too fussed about, something very common for example, I tend to just whack a low end bid and leave it. See what happens and hopefully get a nice surprise. If it's an item I've been looking for for a while, something rare, I tend to play the long game and leave my bidding to the end. One thing to be aware of on some items is shill bidding (the seller artificially bumping up your bids by getting a friend to bid on the item in an attempt to increase their profit). This is often the main reason I wait towards the end of the auction. I have bid on several items over the years that I get outbid on only for the item to be almost immediately relisted. When the bidding is between yourself and one other I always find that a bit suspicious. Last minute bidding help to avoid this. Chris [/QUOTE]
