Anyone who have been into auctions and biddings? I am just planning to get the SLR that I want through ebay and I haven't really been using ebay ever.. any tips regarding bidding techniques and strategies?

Firstly work out your maximum price that are prepared to pay, otherwise it can be easy to get carried away and bid more than you really wanted to. Don't forget to check the feedback of the seller, I look for sellers with more than 50 positive feedback. For most auctions all of the real bidding takes place in the last few minutes, your best bet is to come in late with your highest bid and then just hope for the best!

I love ebay.. The best thing is to Watch the item and bid in the last minute. If you have your heart set on it that is the best bet to do and make it a big one the max you are willing to pay for that item. People may try to outbid you but it may be to late for them too or they may only put a few dollars so the price only climbs a little.. Allot wait till the last minute so that's why you should watch it closely.. I always say to myself if I don't win... It was meant to be... Good Luck with it..
