What is the Buy Now option?

Round Box

Buy Now Option

The Buy Now feature allows the seller to set a fixed price, higher than the starting bid of the auction, at which the item can be purchased immediately, without having to wait for the auction to end.

How it works:

  • When a seller activates the Buy Now option, interested buyers can purchase the item immediately as long as they are willing to pay the price set for that option.
  • The Buy Now option will only be available as long as there are no bids in the auction.
  • After the first bid, the option will be automatically removed, and the auction will continue as normal, based on the bids placed.

This feature provides a convenient way for buyers who want to secure the purchase of an item without waiting for the auction to end, while giving the seller the opportunity to close the sale quickly.
