Let’s talk in 6 1/2 hours and see what happened. Burkphoto is absolutely correct. Do not count the chickens before the hatch. Good luck.

Relax, with 6.5 hrs to go you will not be the highest bidder.
That what the OP was hoping for. The OP after posting the bid didn't feel like buying it. She was afraid nobody will outbid her in the 6.5 hours left.

First Linda dont know if you have already done the deal.
the a7 III sells in some places for almost that price new. Expecially right now with the virus
causing big discounts. I believe the lens is a kit lens. Don't seel that gear for cheap.
keep it. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I doubt you will win unless you posted a crazy high bid. In ALL Ebay auctions, bids go fast and furious in the last two minutes. It has been my experience that a bid is posted in the last 10 seconds to snip the product away from everybody else.

Lost the bid...and am really glad! Thanks for all of your feedback and suggestions. Have bought stuff on EBay that is for sale. This is first time I bid on camera gear...and it will probably be the last..

You should always wait until the last few minutes of an eBay auction. Early high bidders don't really mean anything unless your bid is so high no one will go higher. Since you already bid you can put in the highest amount you are willing to go and it will only go that high if others continue to bid. Go to Ken Rockwell's site and read "How to win at eBay auction"
No one every bids on ebay anymore. They all use snipe tools. Here is a free one: https://www.ezsniper.com/

Any bid placed in an auction before the last 15 seconds is a 'fool's bid'. Anyone serious about buying via auction on ebay will use a sniping tool. Don't be afraid to pay a little for a tool that places your bid within the last 5 seconds of the auction. You will win more often. And they deserve to earn a little money.
If selling, decide what you can afford. It's bold to start an ebay auction with something at $.99 and hope that the bidding rises high enough by the time it ends. (Wise sellers choose 7 or 9 day auctions and pay attention to the day and time that the auction ends. Don't let it end at 3AM EDT on a weekday, for example.)
Just watched a man sell his Nikon 600mm G F4 PF lens in a $.99 auction running 9 days. This lens is selling north of $6K-$7K used (on ebay). His auction ended at $4800. I couldn't justify that much money in today's economy, or I would have at least gone a little over $5K.

I have never used eBay I take it you cannot withdraw a bid once submitted is this true?
Not really. But, you must promptly withdraw your bid. Don't wait hours or days and think you can negate it.

My bidding experience indicates that high bid is good until the last couple of minutes and then there is a flurry of bidding, usual upper the previous high bid by small increments in an automated bid. Keep a close eye on the item near the deadline if you really want to win.
