haven't bought before and I saw a watch I would like, now what do I do. will I be bidding on iit or just buy it. thanks
If it has both then the choice is yours.
If it has a Bid Button enter the highest amount you are willing to pay and Bid.
eBay will enter incremental bids on your behalf up to the maximum you entered.
If it has a Buy It Now button you can click the buy it now button
If the item is listed as an Auction, you bid and if you are the high bidder when the auction closes, you win. Pay as soon as possible. If you have not set up your Paypal account, do it now, because it can take a couple of days to be ready to go.
The usual advice for buying in auction is: Bid once, bid your maximum and bid late in the auction. The first two are the most important.
Some auctions also offer a Buy It Now option. The BIN price is higher than the opening bid, but if you click on that you can have the item sooner.
If someone bids in an auction, the BIN disappears.
Many listings are Fixed Price and when you 'bid' you are asked to confirm your purchase, then invoiced immediately.
