what do you think happens if no one bids on an item
If there are no bids, the auction ends, and nothing else happens. The seller can choose to relist the item. There are no fees to pay on items that don't sell.
Bidding on eBay ends when the duration of the auction is over. If it shows zero bids when the bidding has ended, the item did not sell. If the item sold, it will show the number of bids and the user id of the highest bidder who won the item.
You place automatic bids by interring the amaximum bid,witch will the most you are willing to pay for the item. You will only be charged the amount it takes to win.For example your maximum bid is $20.00 any one that bids less than $20.00 will automatically out bid. If no one else bids as much as $15.00 YOU win it for $15.00.
Open a case against the seller for an unreceived item
I personally think that it is a HUGE scam. I signed in wanting to buy an ipod and cannot believe quite how naiive I was thinking that it would actually work. Basically you buy bids, so for example 50 bids will cost you $40. You then use up these bids by bidding on an item you're interested in. I ended up spending $140 on bids to not actually win the item in question. If you don't win the item, your bids (ie. the $140 I spent on buying the bids) goes in a "bank account" against your name. So if you ever (!!!???!!!) actually win an auction, the value goes against the purchase of that item. This amount however is only valid for 30 days and so you have to win an auction in that time period or you lose your money. Of course, you can only win an item by buying yet more bids to bid on an auction. I don't see how you can ever win an item and use your old bid money to pay for it without still having money left in your bank account. Therefore you have to keep buying more and more bids to use the money that you've paid for previous bids you've bought where you haven't won the item. There are so many people bidding against each item, that the chances of you actually winning are (I believe) highly remote, so the company make a fortune, and I mean a FORTUNE out of anyone stupid enough to use their site (me!!). I bought the inital amount of bids which ran out very quickly and then I thought "oh well, if I don't keep bidding I'll have just wasted my money, so I'll buy some more bids". Of course, they want people to think that way so they can scam them out of their money. DON'T BE FOOLED!!!!
A bidder is a person who bids for an item, for example, at an auction.
You are still responsible for paying for the item. If you fail to pay for the item, your eBay account may be suspended.
Anyone can can win anyone's auction and then later resale it for a more money than he bought it for. There is nothing wrong with them do that. It's called resale. Anyone can go into a department store, purchase items, and resale them on eBay for more money, same thing basically. It's done all the time. It's called our competition.
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.
the number of your item in the ebay history
Depending on whether or not you have committed fraud (ie saying you didn't receive a large ticket item when you did) and the dollar amount they can file suit against you or try and have you charged with fraud by deception
If it doesn't sell, the seller can choose to relist it. If it sells, the buyer pays the seller, and then the seller ships the item.
