You buy by placing a bid or using the buy now option.

Only registered members can place bids.

Bid with caution, because once you bid, if you win when the reserve price is met or there is no reserve then you must buy the item.

Your bid must be at least $1 greater than the start price or the previous bid amount for the auction.

You can try to avoid being outbid at the last moment by using auto-bid.

If you are the highest bidder at the close of the auction and the auction has met the reserve price, you are the winner! The reserve price is the lowest price the seller is willing to sell their item for.

The seller should make a contact with the buyer to arrange the payment and shipping details for the purchased item.

See 'After the sale'.
