How do you what the reserve is on EBAY
There is this great seat on Ebay, and the guy started the bid at 399.00. The page reads that the reserve is not met, does this mean if I 500.00 I might not get it becuase the reserve has not been met? Just wondering, mostly everything I bought of EBAY has been with out auction.

Reserves are not stupid. As the seller you want to sell your item for as much as someone is willing to pay. Sometimes for whatever reason an item will not be bid for near as much as it is worth, the reserve protects the seller from having to sell at too low a price and yet generate interest with a low opening price. As others have said, bid what you are willing to pay and enjoy the auction.

Personally I don't bid on items with a reserve and try to stay away from them. It usually means the seller is very proud of whatever he or she is selling and wants too much for it. If you are going to put a reserve on something just put the buy it now price on there for what you really want to sell it for. If it doesn't sell, lower your price and put it up again.
