Buying and selling items on the Internet is a popular pastime. One of the most successful websites that enables these transactions is Ebay. On Ebay, members can list their items for sale and sell them to Ebay browsers. Members can also browse for items they want to buy and make online purchases in a relatively safe process. Many members prefer to use Ebay's "Buy It Now" feature that eliminates the need for bidding in an auction format. With "Buy It Now," the seller sets a price and the buyer accepts that price and agrees to pay it.
Instructions:
Buy It Now for Buyers
1) Log in to your Ebay account with your user name and password.
2) Browse the item listings within Ebay to find an item you wish to purchase. Items that have a "Buy It Now" icon in the listing have this option available for buyers.
3) Find an item you think is interesting. Read the description carefully and make sure it is acceptable for bidding. Read the seller's terms completely. Look at the shipping costs and make sure they are reasonable. Add these costs to the item price to reach the full price for the item. Check any guarantees and read the seller's return policy.
4) Click the "Buy It Now" button if you are certain you wish to buy the item. This is a commitment to purchase the item, so do not click this button unless you are sure you want to make the purchase.
5) Confirm your purchase and choose the method you want to use to pay for the item. Pay for the item.
Buy It Now for Sellers
1) Log in to your Ebay account with your user name and password.
2) Create a listing for your item. You can offer an auction listing with a "Buy It Now" option or you can only offer your item for the fixed "Buy It Now" price. If you opt to sell the item only at a fixed price, you must meet certain requirements set forth by Ebay and you must set the item price for at least $1.00.
3) Add the item information to the listing. Add pictures and specific information about the item for potential buyers.
4) Choose the selling options you want to use for the listing. Read the options carefully because some options involve extra fees. Finalize the listing to finish.
