I have made about 125 purchases on eBay. I only bid once and that is in the last 10 seconds. You may place a bid considerably higher than the last bid but you will only pay the standard increment over the highest preceding bid. That increment will increase as the value of the auction escalates. It is based on a percentage. At $10 the increment might be $0.50. At $50 it might be $1.00. Your higher than necessary bid is your insurance to win against other bids that you cannot see.
In other words, you can bid $90 but if the next highest bid at the close is $20, you will only pay something like $21. On the other hand, there may be a bid similar to yours but higher. You will lose but the other guy will pay $90 plus the increment of probably $2.00. All that money goes to the seller minus his listing fees.
Get your eBay account established. Find a hot item (many bidders) with lots of time left. Bid it once or twice for practice. PayPal is very convenient for bidders. Think about creating an account there too. There are no charges for buyers at eBay or their payment subsidiary PayPal. Good luck but you shouldn't need it.
BTW, I just bought $900 worth of good metal cutting band saw blades for $28. That cost includes the shipping. I love eBay.
In the past six months, I have had problems with two non-deliveries and one item not described properly. eBaY's Buyer Protection Plan reimbursed me the cost of the item and the shipping.
