sellers can see the number of people watching an item, but not who they are [ Reply | More

above answers are correct. place your maximum bid (the most you are willing to pay, and wouldnt be upset if someone else won it for more) as late in the auction as you are comfortable - like with a minute to go. if it doesnt have buy it now, then there is no limit as to how high it can go. most bidding happens in last hour of auctions anyway.

lots of fakes on ebay - check prior feedback on seller, and check authenticity guarantee. make sure they allow you to return it if it is false. and keep in mind that if they require a letter from a dealer/store in order to return, be aware that most won't provide you with a letter (which sellers know, and that's why they offer that) [ Reply | More

you know, you can search 'completed listings' on ebay to see how much similar items often sell for. good luck. can i ask what the item is? I just say this because you have to be careful, many things on ebay can be fakes, like designer items. also, look at seller's feedback, should be 99% or more. [ Reply | More
