I never bought anything via Ebay. So anyway I'm bidding on some fig plants or cuttings. My ID is CLfigs. It's kind of intimidating to click on a bid button, only to see a thing that says I have been out-bid and I now have to make a higher bid. I don't get it. How can I be out-bid so fast? I kind of understand the max bid concept so is that what I'm bidding against? Why doesn't it simply show what the max bid is I have to beat instead of me having to make multiple bids to get the highest bid?

I think they do tis to encourage more bidding action more attention to the auction. I agree is stupid but the who Ebay thing just is not as good as it once was. What are you bidding on?Zone 5 Chicago IL Wish list:

Hey Charlie, it's very simple. eBay allows bidders to submit a maximum amount that they are willing to pay for an item. That amount cannot be posted since the item isn't presently selling for that amount. This is the reason you are getting immeadiate outbid notices. By the way I'm the seller you are bidding on a couple of my plants, plant-creator, thanks.

No offence to eBay sellers, but selling member to member is also beneficial and cheaper than eBay.Scott - Colorado Springs, CO - Zone 4/5 (Depending on the year) - Elevation 6266ft

I'm trying to stick with varieties that are more cold tolerant, or do well in pots. It hit -18 last winter in my town. I just like the way the panache looksLast edited by cjmach1973; 08-23-2015, 10:22 PM.

I have never listed my wants here but have scored some outstanding trees on ebay. Just to let you know, if someone really wants a particular tree, they will pay the price. Looking at a prize sitting by the fountain. It hurt only when I paid. Feel much better now. So, come September, I will list my wants and hope someone here has my hearts desire. I purchased the trees from members. KK and plant creator have some very nice things.

Hey Figster, I use USPS calculated shipping charges. The heavier the package and longer distance the more the charge,but the closer and lighter the package then less of a shipping charge. I do combine shipping up to six plants and the charge is figured the same. A couple of examples of the charges are; to Ca $23 while to the panhandle of Florida only $9 for the same weight and size package.This works best for me. I hope this gives you a better understanding of my shipping charges and no, my plants do not come with choice cuttings.Lol

Very many of my trees came from cuttings that were given me by people here, some I purchased. My newbness and biting off more than I could chew resulted in killing prime, rare cuttings. I don't feel worthy of asking for them again. Why would anybody want to give away rare varieties to somebody who can't get them to live? I don't expect many would. I should pay for what I get from now on so if there is a loss it's mine to bear.
