Good question! I would recommend you as a beginner to first observe the auction. Then if you get involved in the auction let autobider 5 bids and check out your opponents react and see are they use autobider. Auto Bidder is a double-edged sword. By my estimate better to be patient and manually bid. Do not go on auction if you do not have 200-300 TC credits and be patient!

Goodluck on auctions!

For the Pricebenders auctions ,one should be able to follow the pattern of winning by viewing at similar auctions for the identical products and the winning prices.
The Autobidder could be an expensive way of using the TripleCredits, unless one closely monitors the bidding procedure. If the bidding is going on rapidly one should wait till the count goes down to two and once and then start the autobidder dependent on one having at least 20 TCs to bid.
Not using the autobidder is

The auto-bidder system is better for winning the auctions mainly because it’s hands-free after you pre-set your bids. You just sit and watch and apply a strategy if need be after watching what is going on. You can also move away from your computer after pre-setting your bids based on your budget.

With auto-bidding it is easy to focus on two auctions simultaneously.

The auto-bidder is a powerful tool for winning auctions when used with a sound plan.

Using Auto Bidder should be done with Caution. Only use Autobidder if there is hardly anyone else bidding against you. Using Auto Bidder when a high number of bidders are present will cause a waste of T-Credits.

It is wise in these situations to exercise caution when using this feature. Only in certain instances should it be exercised, and done wisely.

Using auto bidder or non-auto bidder depends on your strategy and the amount of
T-Credits you have.

If you want to be conservative with your bids, do not use the auto-bidder.
using auto-bidder will use up all your T-credits fast if you run into
an aggressive bidder.

The best way to win an auction using both bidders is to set a goal on who you want
to bid against and how many T-credits you want to use.

Hi,
Whether you win pricebenders auctions using auto bidder or not depends on two factors namely:
1. your experince in pricebenders auctions and
2. amount of TCredits you have in your TCredit account.
The more experienced you are in pricebenders auctions the better your chances of winning using auto bidder and vice versa.
Also the more TCredits you have in your TCredit account the better your chances of winning using auto bidder and vice versa.

Auto-bidder is a tool to use at your advantage in case you need to do something else which is of importance; you will have to switch it on. It is not the question of how much TCredits you use but rather the importance of winning an auction.

How you use the auto-bidder is entirely up to you and nobody will force you to use it or not. It is for our convinience.

Furthermore, there is no better option to win but it is up to your eagerness to win a particular option. If you just

I believe that both means of winning an auction is good in it's own ways and for different reasons. If you have a lot of TCredits to lose and you really don't mind, then I would use the auto-bidder. When using the auto-bidder your points can click away at a blink of an eye. This is because you're not the only one using the auto-bidder. Now if you have only a small amount of TCredits to use. You should use them wisely. Taking your time, choosing the right auction, choosing the right time of day or

I think that choice differs because we are human. The manual bidder is good and the Auto bidder is best to me.

While using the manual, you have to keep watching it to know when you are loosing it or gaining grounds as you play your bids at your own pace, and you must be very calculative to know when the bidding is about to stop.

The Auto bidder alerts you when to bid and it is not in all cases you bid.

You will also know when the bidding is about to end through the

I Prefer to go with Manual bidding so that I can optimize bids in order to get the Avg. Position that I want.
If you want to maximize your profit, use manual bidding.

Manual bidding requires manual work but it's actually profitable.

Automatic Bidding means you are giving Control to Auto -Bidder who take care of your budget to bring you the most possible clicks.

Automatic bidding gives an Idea of bid trends & you can initially start with Automatic bidding.
