WELCOME all who gather here. YOU ARE GOING TO WIN A WIDGET SOON. In praise of Tiptie and the disciples Cru and Pcr99, I SAY SNIPE ON ! In the first written words the immortal Tiptie posted.... "Sniping is the art of placing a bid, with a high proxy,during the last few seconds of an auction." Remember He posted "Sniping is an art" That so it is read, it is an art that can be learned. ANYONE can do it IF they learn and read and follow the written words. In praise of Tiptie snipe...

It's that time of year again, {{{Biddies}}}. Although we are few & far between, I've always enjoyed the BB gift exchange & hope y'all will participate. Most wording lovingly snagged from {{{cakie's}}} 2008 thread. For those of you that are new to the fun here are some details: You send to the person who posts directly below you. It's a good idea to email them when the final list is up and get ideas of what they like and don't like. (Some people have allergies.) I will post the...

We have our much beloved Sniping Revival Thread. We have also encountered the earlier proxy that beats the snipe. I have decided that we need to honor and acknowledge these early proxy winners. We have, just like in the Revival thread, the naysayers. Obviously we all know that a snipe bid is a proxy bid, but I want to give an award when an earlier proxy beats a snipe. They happen all the time. As with the Sniping Revival, I will create Award seals for these winners that have...

I'm starting this thread primarily for the {biddies} who have signed up for the gift exchange, BUT All are welcome to chime in! I'll start. I love anything vintage - from clothing to accessories to decor. I'm fond of cotton vintage girly hankies. I also love the Blues, but have most of the well-known artists. 70's English Rock is good, too. Love Strong Coffee & Community Coffee dot com has some great stuff... That's enough outta me. Next!?!?!?

Is it within ebay policies for a seller to request to be contacted before bidding for shipping and payment terms? And why would they want to do that anyway???

Deja Vu! This has happened twice with the same item but different winners: A new member with 0 exchanges "swoops" to win the item and doesn't pay or respond to emails. Both times I got an email during the auctions from a different person asking me to sell the item on a buy it now for less than I want to sell it for. I declined. Is this some kind of scam? I've gone through the process of opening a case and getting my refund but I just want to make a simple auction sale. Any advice? How do you...

Due to the short notice originally posted to that other thread, we've decided to extend the cut-off date. If you signed up there, ya don't have to do so here. We just thought it might give more folks the chance to jump in on the fun. And it is a ton of fun! So is the gift exchange, but that's a whole nuther thread... So, here's the *New* deal: If you'd like to be included in the 2009 Biddies Holiday card exchange, please send me your name & address thru my eBay mail link. I'd...

I see it is being done by people successfully. They are busy bidding and buying a particular item, but when I try to view the items, ebay says they have had to block the viewing due to a Paris law decision which unfortunately may affect items not directly relating to the decision ... so how on earth are other buyers managing to do this? I see new listings for these items, but there again... how are people managing to do this?

Hi (((biddies))). I have a simple question, and I posted it on the Seller Board. Is is a violation to post it here, too? I would really like to see the biddies' answers. Thanks, H5==========================================If you don't take care of your body, where will you live?
