I hate when sellers have multiple items all closing at the same time.

Why do they do that? Is it a strategic move?

I know that in my case, it results in my bidding(sniping) on one coin, maybe two coins instead of many coins...and often no coins because it's frustrating/annoying to look at a list of many, many coins closing at the same time or within seconds of each other.



Enlighten me, please

Sellers like that use TurboLister or a similar program to list their auctions, and unless they wait between uploads, there will be many auctions ending within seconds of each other.

Sorry.

I schedule the auctions so only get to choose 15 minute intervals. I like to be consistent so always pick the same time.

It seems to me that you are a good candidate for some sniping software. I've used some online services that worked very well. These days I'd probably get sniping software I can download and run from my machine so I wouldn't have to give out my eBay password.

Oh, I hadn't noticed Carl There's many sellers who do this.


Maybe I should check out the sniping software. I do like to look my victims in the eye, though

If I have two or more items that may intrest the same collector, Ill usually put a 15 min interval time between them and not have them on end on the same time. This will allow someone to watch the end and enter a last minute bid if they choose on both items.

Yes...and sometimes I want to plan my bidding around what I have already won, instead of the "shotgun" approach!
