I have been selling on ebay for a while now and can never decide on whether to list my items on auctions or buy it now.. What do you prefer?? I want peoples opinions, thanks
      Answer1:im always on ebay, and 90% of the time i use the buy it now option. Ive bid on a few things in the past tho
      Answer2:Bid, becasue if you start at a low price people think theyre getting a bargain. You can always put a reserve if you are worried the item will sell too cheap!:)x
      Answer3:Ive bough hundreds of things on Ebay but personally I like the buy it now option better - instant results! You can advertise things as both I believe.
      Answer4:I prefer to bid, because when you win an auction its a great feeling like you really deserve the item, but if you bid price could get too high so buy it now is still a good option. I use both but prefer to bid.
      Answer5:I think it depends on what you are selling and what price you are looking for, for your item.If you are selling a £200 TV and set it as a Buy It Now option eBay will normally take a substantial final value fee from you - £12 plus. However auctioning it off could mean you loose a fair bit of money if it doesnt get enough interest and of course your insertion costs and final value fee will be totaling £10-£15. What I tend to do is set a Buy It Now price and an auction start off. So if I was selling a TV for £200 I would set the Buy It Now price as £200 and an auction price of about £180 to entice visitors to go for the Buy It Now price.So basically if it costs use either Buy It Now or Buy It Now/Auction and If you are selling something that is under £20 I would recommend the auction method.
      Answer6:I definitely prefer bidding. I like to watch things and sometimes buy it now prices are just so high. I sometimes look for clothes that may have sold out in say Topshop for example, but then people put them on Ebay with a buy it now price of over double the original price! I would much rather something started at a lower price and there is a fair bidding war. x
      Answer7:If you sell a lot of stuff - I would just test it by providing both options and see what gets the best result over a period of time.A
