Yep, you can.
I once sold a used pair of my panties! I made $200.00! I didn't wash them and took a picture of me in them and they sold! It was awesome!

Yes you can bid again. However if someone outbids you at the last second you wont have time to bid again. The best thing to do is bid the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the item. Bid the once & if someone outbids well chances are another similar item will be put up for auction later on, unless it is truely a one of a kind item in which case you may well have to bid a higher price than you would otherwise bid in order to win.

You can increase your maximum bid anytime you want as long as the auction isn't over. There are 2 ways to go. You can either watch the item and bid at the last minute, or you can put in a high maximum amount that whoever bid will lose because you are higher. Either way, You should decide on the most you want to pay because it is easy to get the bid too high and wind up paying a lot more than you want to.

YES, you can bid however many times you want as long as there is time left. Just make sure YOU have the highest bid before time runs out in order for you to win the item...email me for more questions if you like

yes you can,
but with EBAY, always bid the MAX Amount you are willing to pay (and with the added costs of shipping and halding as stated in the listing) and put that amount in. IF the amount goes over that, then ignore the auction and move onto the next listing
So if the item is listed at $5 with a $10 shipping cost, and you're only willing to pay $20 with shipping, then your max bid would be $10. so you bid that.
If someone comes in a bids $15, then you move onto the next listing.

Yes, you can increase your max bid until the auction closes.
If it is that important, and there are no other auctions for the same item you will want to be there for the last few minutes and try to make sure you keep updating your bid. Or way overbid for the item.
