Don't get Ebay

[CAFarmerGirl]

So, Ebay sends an email telling me not to miss out on a bid for an American Girl, Kit's scooter. Current Bid=$23 +5.95 shipping. AG store? $24 + no shipping with $50 purchase, or $4.95 shipping.

Huh?

I am venturing out into the American Girl doll world for my almost 5 year old daughter. I have been watching Ebay for a couple of weeks and it seems that there are some good deals (usually BIN) from unexperienced sellers. But the bids go up to outrageous amounts! My daughter wants a Kanani Doll and they are going for more than they would cost ordered from the on-line store even if I had to pay shipping! Sometimes the used Kanani dolls on Ebay go for more than new from the store!

I see it a lot with all kinds of things on ebay. I get great amusement in looking things up and seeing the bids so high, then going to Amazon and seeing it for way cheaper It makes my day sometimes

I don't understand the bidding on e-bay sometimes and I've been bidding and selling on e-bay since before 2000. Sometimes I think people just get caught up in the I've got to have it bidding frenzy other times I still have to go I've had items I was sure would sell for a lot of money go for nothing or not sell at all and items I had no idea were worth anything sell for a ton - especially my used Cub Scouts stuff - it frequently goes for more used than it sells for in the stores new and since the price on these items is regulated I just don't understand it - a few weeks ago I sold a used book, used neckerchief and used slide for $5 more than I paid plus they still had to pay the shipping.

Ebay sends that out because you either bid on it or are watching it. Just ignore it.

IMO it makes no sense to put in a bid if there are several days left. If I am going to buy on eBay, I don't bid until the last few minutes.
