I HAVE SOME INFO TO PASS ON THAT I DISCOVERED THE HARD WAY

If you are looking for an item to bid on and you have your sort on BEST MATCHED items (it seems to default to that) it will not give you all the items that are ending now. Some are ending on page 2, or more, and they may be at a lower price. You have to change the sort bar to ending soonest, by clicking on, Customize view, then click on, Advanced Options, on the right. If you do not make this change, it will return to the default, and you will miss-out on items that are ending now (without you ever seeing them). GOOD LUCK! Below is a sample of the bar:
