how to bid

how do I bid on item ?

[reallynicestamps]

There is a Bid Now button, but before you use it, read the entire listing including the shipping costs which are on a separate tab.

If the seller does not give a firm price for shipping to Canada go to Contact Seller (on the right) and get a firm quote for shipping via USPS/Canada Post.

If you have any questions, ask them now.

Then click on Bid Now and enter your highest bid. Click again to confirm your bid.

EBay will automatically enter your bids at the lowest amount possible until your bid is beaten by another bidder -- or until you win. You may pay your maximum bid or you may pay much less.

If you decide an item with an asking price of $10  is worth $25 to you and shipping is $5, you would bid $20.

EBay would open the bidding to you at $10. If I then bid $15, eBay would increase your bid to $16. If no one else bid, yuo would win at $16 plus $5 shipping, a saving of $4 from your top price.

Simple?

How did you get to 12 feedback points without knowing how to bid?

Just type the maximum amount you are willing to pay into the bid box then check back after the auction ends.
