4] Some auction sites offer free bids when you signup with them. Do not spend them immediately and use them only when you purchase bid packs. Users who tried their luck with freebies have been successful in winning the bid.

5] Never place your bids in advance, as you will be easily outbid by others. Most of the bid winners wait for last minute. So, bidding some minutes before the auction increases your chances of winning the bid.

6] Do not bid early thinking that only few users have bid on a particular product. It looks only 10 bidders have placed their bid but more than 30 will be waiting for the last minute to place their bid. These experienced people can outbid you easily.

7] Choose low cost items where the competition is slightly less. When competition is low, you can positively win the bid. Always stick to a single item and place your bid. Do not jump on one product to another. This confusion may lead to loss.

8] Some penny auction sites follow savvy bidding which is also called bid protection. Here you will pay little more for your bids but you are assured for any gift card or extra bids. You can also purchase additional bids apart from the bid protection and use them at any time.

9] If any of your friend or relative is willing to join in penny auction sites, ask them to sign up through your reference. When you refer someone, you will get free bids.

10] Never spend more than the amount that you are willing to lose. Wait for the right time to bid and win the auction.
