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.
Firstly, to bid on Ebay, you'll have to register for an account on Ebay.After that look for the items you want to bid on.Then you can just click on the place bid icon to place your bid for the item.If you're the highest bidder for the item at the end of the day, you'll be notified once the item listing has ended.
Yes the purpose of sniping is to place the highest bid at the very last second, and it is possible to be out bid by another bidder who may be doing the same thing. Usually you can tell the snipe how much you wish to add at the last second.
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.
NO. The horse is transferred to the highest bidder but you keep the money!
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.
In the same way that any auction works on the site. You place your bid, other members generally bid against you and the highest bidder when the auction ends is the winner and the winner has to pay for their item.
The only way a highest bidder can lose the item is if they can't meet the terms or the bid wasn't high enough.
You get an email if your bid is the high bid for the item. In some cases your settings are set to not send you an email to confirm your bids. So you can also refresh the item page to see if you are the highest bidder or if someone had already outbid you.
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
They do not ask for your credit card info to place a bid on EBay. If you accidently placed a bid you should try to contact the seller to see if they will let you cancel your purchase. If they will not, then you will have to pay for the item if you are the highest bidder.
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.
Yes. The rule is that the bidder is making an offer to buy and the auctioneer accepts this in whatever manner is customary, usually the fall of the hammer. A bidder may withdraw his or her bid at any time before the fall of the hammer, but any bid in any event lapses as an offer on the making of a higher bid, so that if a higher bid is made, then withdrawn before the fall of the hammer, the auctioneer cannot then purport to accept the previous highest bid. If an auction is without reserve then whilst there is no contract of sale between the owner of the goods and the highest bidder (because the placing of goods in the auction is an invitation to treat) there is a collateral contract between the auctioneer and the highest bidder that the auction will be held without reserve (i.e., that the highest bid, however low, will be accepted).
