Question about bidding/ buy it now on eBay? - sdwer - 06-06-2014 09:57 AM

I placed a big on Patriots tickets for this weekend and put a bid for $1.00. The seller has a buy it now price of $395.00. If I win the bid, will I pay my highest bid amount or will I have to pay the Buy It Now price?

If you win, you will only pay the highest amount you bid.

you will pay your highest bid! But others will probably bid higher than you if you dont keep on doing it! The buy it now price is for if someone doesnt want to bid and is up for paying the price, then the item will go straight to them.

Assuming you win the bid, you will pay your highest bid price. The "Buy it Now" offer merely creates a situation where the tickets will not go to auction. Note that your highest bid price may not allow you to buy the tickets even if you are the highest bidder- the seller can set a reserve price and if your high bid is below the reserve price, the sale is cancelled.
