#shopybids tips

At Shopybids, we've come up with a long list of tips, meant to help you get familiarized with our site, bidding and developping strategy. Some of these may help you tremendously when bidding but keep in mind, they do not provide any guarantees of winning an auction.

·         The number of users online at any time changes a lot from minute to minute, hour to hour and day to day. Use this to your advantage.

·         Watch the timer and bid no later than the last four seconds to make sure your bid has time to register. If the counter seems to be reaching zero pretty often, it can mean that there are few users bidding on that item and this gives you an edge by increasing your chances of winning.

·         Look for Bid Packs in auctions. It costs nothing to bid and you will probably get a better deal than buying the pack out-right.

·          Having a large amount of bids in your account will ensure you don't run out of bids when you are in auction and miss out on getting the deal you were bidding on.

·         Buy large Bid Packs and pay much less per bid.

·         Use the ShopyMatic to your advantage; leave it on at times when you are away from your PC. It is also a useful tool to exhaust the competition. 

·         The ShopyMatic is a powerful tool, not only does it allow you to place bids without sitting in front of the computer, but it unnerves the competition who keep seeing the ShopyMatic matching their bids one after the other. The ShopyMatic can often outsmart its opponents simply because they tire and give up on competing against it.

·         Cheaper products tend to have fewer bidders and therefore are more likely to win. Once you get the hang of Shopybids and develop your strategy, you're more likely to win the major items.

·         Try to concentrate your bidding on one or a few items. Placing bids randomly is not a good strategy. 

·         Don't spread your bids around: focus on one or two auctions at a time to maximize your chances of winning.

·         If you are trying to conserve bids, it's better to bid late in the game. Wait until there are ten seconds or less on the clock before you place a bid.

·         Watch for slower times on the website. When everyone else is enjoying their morning coffee or stuck in rush hour traffic, you can walk off with some great deals.

·         Arm yourself with enough bids to win the item that you want. Keep an eye on your bid balance and purchase more if needed. You don't want to run out of bids at an inconvenient moment.
