Using the 'My eBay' Page
Overview
The
'My eBay' page is a convenient way for you to see and snipe the
items you are 'watching' on eBay, and keep track of the items you are
bidding on directly with eBay. You may also snipe the auctions you have
bid on directly with eBay as insurance or if you get outbid. You may
choose between seeing the Watches you have on eBay, and Bidding you have
into eBay, by clicking the tabs at the top of the page. This feature is
a seamless way to help manage your shopping and bidding on eBay.
My eBay 'Watch' Listings
The auctions which appear on this page are auctions you are watching on
eBay. You may see this same list if you log into your
'My eBay' on eBay and
click
'Watching' on the left side of the page. As you shop eBay, you may
add auctions which interest you to your eBay watch list. Just click the
'Watch This Item' link in the upper right corner of the auction page on
eBay. Even though you are not bidding on the auction, eBay will keep you
informed via email of the auction's progress. If, at any time prior to
six minutes before the end of the auction, you want to snipe the item,
just enter the quantity of items you are bidding on (usually one) and
the amount of your bid. Click the
SNIPE button, and your bid
is entered with us for sniping. Verify your bid on the
'My Auctions' page.
My eBay 'Bidding' Listings
The auctions which appear on this page are the auctions you have already
bid on through eBay, and the auctions have not ended. These listings
include auctions in which you are the high bidder, and auctions in which
you have been outbid. You may snipe these auctions on this page to 'back
up' your manual bid, or as an advance to your bid if you have already
been out bid. Enter your snipe any time prior to six minutes before the
end of the auction by entering the quantity of items you wish to bid on
(usually one) and the amount of your bid. Click the
SNIPE button,
and your bid is entered with us for sniping. Verify your bid on the
'My Auctions' page.
Sorting Listings
You may sort the listings on either of your
'My eBay' pages, or
any page with auction listings in any order. Click the column heading to
sort the listings by the data in that column. Click it again to reverse
the order. For example, you may display your watches in order of time
remaining in the auction by clicking that column header. Click it again
to see the reverse order.
