I am selling my item on ebay and the bidding is going very low. I dont want to sell my item at low price. So is there a way I can increase my bids. For e.g. can softwares that can increase bids.
If your item is currently on eBay, and you’re afraid it will sell for too low a price, you might want to end your auction early, cancelling all bids, stating that there was an error in the listing (the "error" can be that you should have started the auction with a higher opening bid). Then you can relist it later for a higher opening bid.
There is no software that can increase bids … legally, anyway. If you get a friend or relative to bid on your item to drive the price up, that’s called "shill bidding," and — as far as I know — it’s illegal in most, of not all, states. Best thing to do at this point could be to close your auction.
On the other hand, I’ve started items at $1 and had them sell for thousands, even when there’s $100 bid on them with a minute to go. Never can tell with eBay. Snipers wait in the wings until the last 5-10 seconds. Best of luck to you. Hope this helped.
I made a new eBay sale, Buy Now is at $300, bidding is starting at $10, what if it only gets up to $50 and I want at least $100, can I choose to keep my item?
Strange previous response as regards the "insider tip". The practice of having a "friend" FALSELY BID IN ORDER TO DRIVE UP THE PRICE has been around as long as auctions. It’s called shill bidding and is a violation of EBay policies that can get you suspended from selling on the site. It’s also a FELONY in many states. Having recently gotten EBay to suspend a top-rated power seller for doing exactly this, they do take it seriously.
You can place a reserve on your item, which you may (but don’t have to) disclose to any bidder. Some sellers put their reserve price directly in the listing. If bidding has already started, you are stuck. Withdrawing an item that has bids already on it is another violation of policy. Some sellers do say they have the item listed locally (craigslist, etc.) and reserve the right to end auction if item sells locally. Feedback is everything regarding Ebay, when in doubt call Ebay and ASK.
