If you put a high bid on eBay do you only pay the first increment over the last bid or does it immediately jump to your high bid?

Your high bid generally adds a single increment, although there are exceptions. If the current high bidder (ie, the person you're bidding against) also has entered a high bid, you will be outbidding each other 'by proxy' and whichever of you made the highest bid will then show as the new current high bidder. Should you both have made the same high bid, the person who made that bid first will show as the current high bidder. If you are bidding on an item with a reserve and your high bid hits (or surpasses) that reserve, your bid will show as the reserve amount.

Disadvantages of the Online Auction?

1) The item may not sell, you'll have to re-list it, and pay an additional fee.

2) A buyer may bid and not pay, resulting in a lost sale and a re-listing fee.

3) It is time-consuming to add a category, descriptions, price, shipping

method, and photos to a listing.

4) It is time-consuming to promote listings to drive traffic to auctions.

First thing sold on eBay?

Good question. Well, E-bay was founded by a guy named Pierre Omidyar in 1995. Then, the site was called AuctionWeb, and was just a side-hobby to him(as Pierre called it.) He put a few used things on the site that he was willing to sell, and eventually, in late `95, he sold something. He sold a broken laser pointer that he used to use as a toy for his pet cat. Amazingly, Pierre sold the broken laser for $14.00. Today, the same site is now called E-bay, and Pierre has made his way up to a billionaire.

Items bought from eBay are bought from individuals (noteBay, the company), and they can be located anywhere in the world.

Some sellers will dispatch your item the same day that you pay, others will not dispatch for up to 7 days (sometimes even longer).

Add in the differing timeframes for global postal services to get the item to you and you can expect your item to arrive any time within a day and a month or two, after you pay.

Always ask your seller - they will have the best possible idea of when you can expect your item to arrive

What does RM 2.00 mean when you see it on eBay?

RM is the abbreviation for the currency of Malaysia, the Malaysian Ringgit. 2.00 RM means that the item you are looking at is currently priced at 2 Malaysian Ringgits. If you are logged onto your local eBay site (that is, the one that applies to the country you live in), just beneath the RM price you will be shown an approximate equivalent value in your own currency. If you are browsing on the Malaysian site (www.ebay.com.my), you will only see the RM price. In that case, you can either use currency converters (available online) to check the current conversion rate, or copy and paste the item number in to the search box on your local site.

Do you think the prices of the items traded on eBay determined by demand and supply or in some other way?

I have been an eBay seller since they opened practically. I truly believe from a sellers stand point that sellers are in competition with each other within the categories but the items sell differently for each item a seller may sell. It all depends who needs what and who is looking at your items at that particular time. Anyone who is in retail sales knows about it's ups and downs.

How does eBay configure and coordinate its value chain?

eBay has a very lean value chain, providing only the tools to make transactions possible and letting users do the work of managing transactions. The core technologies eBay uses are centralized, but because of the need to confine shipping of goods to shorter distances, the need to conduct many transactions in local currencies, and the need to list product descriptions in local languages, eBay has decentralized its value chain configuration by developing largely independent country subsidiaries as well. The company's vision may be one of seamless global commerce, but the reality is often one of more isolated single country marketplaces.
