be the highest bidder at the end of the auction
No. Only the winning bidder has to pay.
Not sure what you mean the reserve is higher, bidder did not meet it and it is your minimum so there is nothing to negotiate.
Using the system you can get anywhere from 50-75% of eBay's cut on any auction that you refer a winning bidder to.
Yes you can. eBay had no rules againt the sale of motor vehicles. Taxing and licensing would be the responsibility of the winning bidder and not the seller.
If the item is still in your watch list then yes, you are both a bidder and a watcher at the same time. if you bid and remove the item from your watch list then you are a bidder only and not a watcher.
Nothing. You do not win the item and nothing happens to your account. However, if the seller has trouble with the winning bidder and you are the next highest bidder, you could be given a Second Chance Offer to buy the item.
There is a buyer/bidder management page, where you can add usernames of members you want to block.
possibly. if the top bidder pulls out at the last minute you could be the next highest bidder which could potentially win you the auction but otherwise no, you dont pay anything unless you win the auction
The seller opens a 'dispute' with Ebay's resolution centre. Ebay will then contact the winning bidder to find out why they've not paid for the item. Once you place a bid - you are entering a legally bound contract.
If you have the highest bid and win an item, the next step is to pay for it. The most common payment method on eBay is PayPal. Once paid, the seller is responsible for shipment of the item.
