The bidding doesn't start until the end on most items. I prefer not to bid
at all until the end so I don't "show my hand" on higher priced items.
Either bid at the end, and I mean well within the last minute if not the
last 10 seconds or so, or bid the full amount you are willing to pay for
the item.
