"Buy it Now" feature free right now on eBay?

As a buyer I definitely like the buy it now option as there is no waiting for me and I can just go for a sale there and then. I have been shopping on ebay for a long time and I cannot remember the time when I took part in an auction and started placing bids. There's nothing wrong with that of course but it definitely is personal choice and I always choose the buy it now option if available. I can't speak from the standpoint of a seller as I have never sold anything offering the buy it now option but rather I have always sold items that required a starting bid. Andrew

I don't use ebay to buy or sell but have thought about doing it to buy from recently. Now I have looked before and I do know what the buy it now feature is. I think most people would much rather go for it then to bid because bidding can get too high. Maybe the woman expected that that was a good price, who knows.

It depends on what the item is whether I use the "buy it now" or bid. I buy frontline off ebay on occasion and have had better luck with the buy it now than bidding. Sometime the buy it now ends up being cheaper than a previous item I was bidding on and got outbid. On the other hand I've gotten some great deals by bidding instead of the buy it now. I haven't sold anything off ebay in a long time, so don't know what the normal cost is. I buy things here and there off ebay. I've found I can save quite a bit of money on things like car parts and clothes by buying them off ebay instead of going to the stores. The selection is much better too!
