Can someone who uses eBay help me out?

You will need to keep watch on the items your bidding on, some people wait till the last few seconds to up their bid in a chance to win. If you win you will be notified by e-mail. Usually you have twenty four hours to notify the seller your intentions on how you plan on paying. Pay Pal is great if you have an account, if not, tell the seller your sending a check and as soon as the check clears, the seller will send you the items you've won. Good luck bidding.
