eBay, taking the US eBay as an example:

1. The auctioned goods have a starting price, but some goods also have a direct purchase price (the direct purchase price is at least 30% higher than the starting price, and often higher).

If no one bids, you can buy it directly at the direct purchase price. But once someone places a bid, the direct purchase price will be invalid. So if you encounter a product with a direct purchase price, if you think the direct purchase price is acceptable, then it is recommended to place an order directly. If you think it is too high, please place a bid immediately to prevent others from buying it directly.

2. The end time of the product is fixed, so there is a so-called rush to bid.

Specifically, no one bids at the beginning, and waits for the last few minutes or seconds to place a bid to prevent the price from being too high in the early stage.

In this way, you must stay by your computer or mobile phone, wait for one minute before the end, and use eBay's own proxy auction to bid.

The specific method is to give an acceptable maximum bid. As long as your maximum bid is the highest among all, you can buy the product at a price slightly higher than the second highest bidder, and this price will only be less than or equal to your maximum bid. It is recommended to use the app, and you can only enter the highest bid without making mistakes.

3. eBay can check the historical transaction prices within three months. Check it first to have an estimate of the value of the product. Yahoo, based on Japan as the standard 1. The end time of the product will be automatically extended. For example, if someone raises the price 1 minute before the end, the end time will be automatically extended by 10 minutes. So the second item above does not apply, just raise the price honestly.

2. Isn’t the most buggy thing about Yahoo auctions that you can’t register without a local mobile phone number or address! So you can only find an agent. It’s all tears to say more.
