I believe that some folks have stated that they commonly search E-Bay for items being bid on by specific bidders. How is this done? :?

Hit the "Advanced Search" link, which is found below the regular search box on many eBay pages. From the new page, choose "Items by bidder."

here let me give ya a link for a good quick search.....

Welcome to eBay

Also if you really want something it helps to email the seller and tell them what a POS couger is (ship my stuff va M-bag BS, screw ya later!, 89th day FB..) and they will normally cancel his bids lol, I sometimes do that anyways even if I don't want the item.... Its not slander because its true..... Not saying don't deal with the guy just don't ship va non-trackable means.(paypal says this also)

And this is why I do not bid on items that I really want until the end. :wink:

Does it only show what the searched bidder is currently winning, or ALL items that person is bidding on?

You are an evil man, David :D :D

So, these bidder searches only display what I've bid on, not watches, right? ;)

Indeed so. As soon as you bid, you wave a flag to invite other ppl to nab the goodies.

A watch is as good as a snipe to counter that.
