Pricing and Payment Details

Pricing details

Starting Bid - Your item's starting bid will automatically default to the price listed in your catalog. If it has a sale price, it will use the sale price rather than the original price. You may change this to any amount you wish.

Reserve Price - This is the lowest price you will accept for your item. All Reserve Price Auctions are subject to a Reserve Price Auction Fee that is refunded when you successfully complete your auction on eBay. If your item does not sell, this fee is not refunded. Check eBay for more details.

Buy It Now Price - This gives buyers the option to buy your item instantly without waiting for the auction period to end. Once your item is bought this way, your auction automatically ends. eBay will charge you $0.05 US for adding this option. To sell with Buy It Now, you must have a minimum feedback rating of 10.

Best Offer - This allows you to receive price-based offers from buyers that you may accept or reject at your discretion. This option is available only for listings in the Fixed Price format. Once a buyer's best offer is accepted by the seller, the listing ends. Check eBay for more details.

Pricing can be set in your own currency.
