Bidding, New To eBay?

[♕Poetic Justice♕]

Ok so I want to buy this thing priced at $19.99. I can't just buy it, it says I have to bid, so I put $20.00. It says I'm the only bidder (and the highest), so how long do I have to wait before I can finally just buy it? Is the seller going to have to approve of it and then let me buy it? Thanks

Hi,
this type is called Auction style listing which the item will go to the highest bidder. In the auction page it will show how much time is left and after the auction is over you can pay for it, if you win. Make sure you are up before the auction ends, because that's when usually it gets crazy and everyone is bidding. If it is an item that a lot of people are selling it, don't get excited and overbid, just relax and find another one and bid. It is a good idea to find similar ones and put them in your watch list.
