    As a seller in my experience it's always better to sell with( auction) because when I use (buy it now) people never want to pay the price you set for an item.
    I've posted an item for $100 with (buy it now) and kept getting messages from people saying "would you take 30 bucks for it" 🙄
    After getting enough of those messages I put that same item on auction and it sold for $130.
    So now I only sell on auction because if you're selling something valuable the price is always going to pan out to generally what the going rate for what you're selling is anyway

    Hello! Thank you so much for this helpful video! I do have a question though :))
    I’ve bought things off eBay several times, but I’ve never made an offer before. I was wondering- If you offer something and the buyer excepts, does it put the item in your cart? So you can still order multiple items at one time? Or, does it only let you order that one item you made an offer for?

    1:30 . Not exactly right. The minimum bid increment is based on the Increment Table found on their help page.
    Between 250 - 499.99 the min bid increment is $5. You would win for $405 if you bid $500.
    However. If your max bid was 400.01 - 404.99 you would win for your exact bid.

    @Hide_and_Tweak 2 роки тому +2

    I never used the automatic bids and I won all my auctions, but this could be interesting. The only thing is sometimes I guess, you'll want to go maybe 30$ over the max you anticipated, so... yeah, I think I'll stick with the manual bids for now. But it can be nice in case I miss the alarm I set to place my last minute bids.

    First question to ask the seller is are you shipping by USPS? USPS sucks. Your package will never arrive at the estimate delivery date. It be 2 weeks or months late or not delivered. I have a package is still in a distribution center in Memphis for 12 days. They haven't distribute it to the post office. The post office is only 20 minutes away. Lazy people are working for USPS. I'm only going to be buying from sellers that use UPS or FedEx.

    @ronglen5582 Рік тому +3

    If your thinking about joining Ebay. My advice after 14yrs buying is don't. Not Safe like it use to be. Both buyers and Sellers are getting scammed. The only winner here will be Ebay. Also Ebay is out for themself not for Buyer or seller. My best advice would be cash in hand and in person.

    • @DelusionalMoron
      @DelusionalMoron 5 років тому +2

      you actually can buy with cash. if you find a seller that lives close by, just message them saying you'll meet up and pay with cash. usually they will agree because they don't have to deal with ebay/paypal fees and shipping, although they won't get a positive review. I have done this a few times (as a seller).

    Those last second bids are tricky because you’re no longer setting a max bid. I just paid 40 dollars over the next bid because it wasn’t a max bid for some reason. Sucks. You live you learn. Came here looking for info on that.

      You’ll get notified that you won the auction , but eBay will automatically charge you and notify the seller to ship once the payment has processed

      I checked my “lost bids” and there is nothing in there, but also nothing in my recent purchases, as if the item has just vanished
