While tricks are numerous but if you are asked to find variation between two individual selling the same product then you will see pricing strategy to be the only familiar difference between the two.

The 'Few Dollars More' tactic
It's not that you ought to cut down the cost to attract consumer but understanding the psychology of people can work wonder. Despite setting the auction's initial offer, if you offer the same product with few bugs added to its projected auction bid & with a message reading 'Get it now' then some fraction of population, who had been searching for the product would take it to be an opportunity to get the product certainly without taking risk in bidding & losing. They actually don't mind paying additional to get what they needed.

The 'One Dollar Less' tactic
This is easy, but requires an eagle eye on your rival. The moment they start a 'Get it Now' auction for the item you have, start your auction for the same item with price tag 1 dollar less than theirs. Any search for the product would bring both the results together & you'll stand higher chances for your ...
... '1 dollar less' price tag.

The 'Free Shipping' tactic
Consumers really don't like paying for shipping. You can easily integrate the 'free shipping' tag after adjusting the shipping cost into the main price. You would be surprised to know how shoppers desire to pay the final price (including shipping) for the 'free-shipping' tag, instead of having shipping charges additional. Again the psychological factor, they pay the same final cost at the end, but feel good that they did not pay an unnecessary additional cost for Internet shopping as shipping fees.
