A lot of you have been asking how I get such good deals on eBay (ex. my Marc Jacobs Jacket (hasn't been featured on the blog yet), Marc Jacobs Dress, Moschino Jacket, Sass & Bide Jeans, etc.) so I figured I would give some tips on what I do. They are mostly do's, but I posted a few don'ts.
DON'T bid right when you find something if it has more than one day left, this will only drive up the price earlier.

DO wait until the last few minutes to bid. Most people frown upon this, but it's the best way to get a good deal.  But, then again, this can backfire on you if you wait until the last minute and someone has a high maximum bid and you can't bid fast enough to get over it.

DO make an offer if the seller has a Buy It Now or Best Offer option. It's better to have your offer rejected than to pay their price when they might have accepted less. (Once I listed an item for $90 and sold it to someone who offered $60)

DO set a maximum price for yourself and try not to go above it.  I always make my maximum a few dollars less than I want to spend because I always end up getting too into bidding and go more than I planned on. The adrenaline will always get you, "ONE MORE BID, THEN I'LL STOP" is something I always say to myself.

DO ask the seller a question. If you are unsure of sizing or anything find out more so you don't have to return the item, especially since a lot of sellers don't allow returns.

DO search by categories so you can weed out items you don't want. (ex. blazers and jackets, shoes, etc.)

DO search by your size when possible, this eliminates the possibility of seeing an item you love and being depressed when it isn't your size.

DO search by lowest price first.  This makes it easier to keep with your budget because you can stop looking when it gets to a certain price.

DON'T buy something just because its a good deal. Make sure you will wear it first and have other things to wear it with.

DO watch out for fakes! Sometimes even though it looks real, it's fake!  Sometimes they change one word of the brand name and you might read it fast and think its real.  Or in really small letters they say "Inspired by"

Also, my cousins are visiting until Thursday, so I have prepared posts but I might switch them out and write new ones if I have time. I'll still be keeping up with comments at night, so don't worry ;) I'll definitely post if I get something on our shopping excursion!
