An email address would not be enough for them to launch DOS unless it was from a server you operate and you had a single point of presence on the internet that they could determine from the MX record and whois.net.Originally Posted by Ken Andrew
The secret to winning on eBay truly is to keep your money in your pocket until the last minute. Toss maximum buck at the end when there just is not enough time for anyone to raise it. You might pay more but you'll win and not pay everything.
It goes against human nature to wait like this. We want to own the item and we want it now. This is why eBay hates side deals and tries to prevent them. Everytime I have tossed a bid even 30 minutes before the close I have been screwed, either by paying too much or losing to some jackass that came out of nowhere. I am after an item that ends 9:30 PM this Monday night, I will bid no earlier than 9:25 if I bid at all.
Forget about finding something for nothing. 5 billion people are looking at eBay every second and items sell for what they sell. Benefits sellers, makes monkeys out of buyers.
If it is any consolation when you loose an auction you still have your money. A few hours later you may realize you don't need the item after all.
