Establish a top price and stick to it. -- This can help ensure that you get a fair price and protect you from "shill bidding." Don't bid on an item you don't intend to buy. If you're the highest bidder, you're obligated to follow through with the transaction. Some auction sites bar "non-paying" bidders, also known as "deadbeats," from future bidding.

Save all transaction information. -- Print the seller's identification, the item description, and the time, date, and price of your bid. Print and save every email you send and receive from the auction company or the seller.
