I am new in "Buy it Now" and listed item for $150.00 Buy it Now for a 10 day run.

Auction ends with a bid of $9.99 (starting bid) and won the item!

Did I list something in a wrong manner? As you can see what I would like for the item.

Thank you in advance fellow ebayers.

Confusing...

Listed item for $150.00 'Buy it Now'.

Auction ends with a bid of $9.99 (starting bid) .

 

Obviously, you listed as auction with a starting bid of $9.99.

 

My best advise is review your work before listing.

When you list an auction there are two boxes for price.

The one on the left is for the starting price.

The one on the right, which must be higher than the starting price, is for the Buy It Now price.

 

If you are listing at Fixed Price (which is also a form of Buy It Now) there is only one box.

 

Unfortunately you have learned an expensive lesson. Never open an auction at less than you would be content to receive for the item.

And as mentioned, the Review Your Listing* link is there for a reason. Use it.

 

 

 

 

 

*I've done the same from time to time, listing an auction when I meant to list FP. Once I actually got multiple bidders and more than I would have been happy to get. Usually though, nope.
