stupid noob ebay ?

txusa03 · 10-09-2007, 12:00 PM

On ebay, how do I know what is the current bidding for an item? It lists the price you will pay if you buy right now but I don't see the current bidding price? Any expert ebay users on this forum (now is the time to chime in)

just in case I get eggs thrown at me...

Best Offer gives you the chance to negotiate the price with the seller. The advantage of a Best Offer is that you have the opportunity to buy the item at a lower price than the Buy It Now price or, on eBay Motors, the Advertised price.

There is no minimum Best Offer price. However, you should only make what you consider to be your "best" offer for the item because any seller who receives multiple offers for an item is likely to accept the highest Best Offer. Best Offers are good for 48 hours. If the seller accepts your offer, the listing is immediately closed.

Only submit a Best Offer when you’re serious about purchasing the item. Like the bids made on auction-style listings, your Best Offer is binding. If your offer is accepted by the seller, you are obligated to pay for that item.

How about this other example where there is no best offer:

buy it now only.

Ok, I guess the button labeled "watch this item" threw me off making me think it was on for bidding. Thanks.

the 2 auctions are different though 1 is for adaptive and teh other is for non adaptive..
If u already have xenons u have to get adaptive. If your going from halogen to xenon then u can get the non adaptive!

yes, I am aware of that, hence the big difference in price.
