Someone might choose to sell a put option in order to generate income or profit from the premium received. By selling a put option, the seller is obligated to buy the underlying asset at a specified price (the strike price) if the option is exercised by the buyer. If the price of the underlying asset remains above the strike price, the seller keeps the premium as profit without having to buy the asset.

What exactly is bought and sold in option trading?

Option trading is the buying and selling the right and responsibility to purchase a commodity at a set price - this is called an 'Option' to buy or to sell. The commodities in question can be anything - foodstuffs, minerals, or even other investments or currencies. Many people involved in options trading are not actually interested in purchasing or selling the commodity. Instead, they plan to sell their 'option' to someone else - either someone who does want the commodity, or someone who has a complementary option, which can be used to 'close', or finish, the 'option'.

How do you get your auctions featured on the homepage of eBay?

I am not absolutely sure if you can get them on the homepage of Ebay. But you can pay more to get them to be at the top. Like if you want to sell a hyster forklift, you can pay more for it to show at the top if someone searches fork lift or hyster, or if someone just goes into the category that you are selling in. I think it is 34.95. You would have the option to do this when you list your item. It would be with the bold and highlight options and stuff. Just look for it and you will see it. You only want to do this if youe item is going to sell for alot, or if you need that much advertiing to sell it. I would only pay for this option if I have to sell it right away and if the itemm was selling for moe then a 1000
