Say im biding on something and i bid say 10$ at 10:00 and no one else bids. So i have the winning bet at 10$ but the auction closes at 11:30. Now the next time i check it is 2 days from then. What happens then? Im new to ebay so i have no clue. Does he just send them to me or what?

once you've bided your time and placed your bet, in two days you will either have been outbid or will win the auction. then you must pay the man before he sends you the product.

can we ask your age?

I get that its like an auction. But say the auction time closes and i win the auction with my bet. Then i just send him the money and he sends me the product.
So the product are electric generator sunglasses and the leading bet right now .99$. These sunglasses are about 135$ usualy should i be worried about the seller just selling like the box or something?

if there's a reserve price, you must meet that. be ware of the shipping cost, sometimes it's super high. most of the bids come in the last 120 seconds of the auction so if you aren't going to be there for the end, bid the most you would pay for the sunglasses in case someone outbids you.

1. Do you have a PayPal account?

2. Did you check the sellers feedback?

3. Did you read the listing description very closely?

4. Did you check the shipping cost?

Get to know how eBay works before actually bidding on something. Have you actually won the item yet?

if there isn't a reserve price then there are probably like 6 days left meaning the price will go up to at least 100, but MAKE SURE YOU READ THE FULL ITEM DESCRIPTION
usually the prices rises the most during the last like 2 mins of the auction
when you win the item with the highest bid, you click 'pay now' and use paypal to send him the money. then he sends you the item. if he never sends the item, contact him and if that doesn't work then you have 45 days to file a claim with paypal


maybe you should ask your parents to do it for you after they give you your bath...........................oh snap

do this. i always wait until there is like 10 seconds left and then I drop the maximum amount I'm willing to pay. There's no sense in running up the auction price any more than necessary. plus I win every time.
