I cannot really talk about my experiance cause I aint really ''bid'' on nothing I've read the 101 and like they was saying take some time studying how the bidding system was working, High valu, low value, try to see when the '' buy now'' button should be used etc etc... but the fact is when you subscribe they take 60$ from your credit... no choice... I would be hapy to try whit 10$ 15$ 20$ BUT 60 $ is too much for my budget, I've ask them for a refound and I got a full one:-D and it was really fast
