I also did some major stuff selling last year - it's so nice to have the extra closet space! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebay-bidding-versus-buy-it-now#post-2086621 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 12:01:55 +0000 MaryM 2086621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me it also depends on the item. </p> <p>I've bought some things for my house recently that I use buy it now for because I needed them right away. </p> <p>When I was planning my wedding, I bought a lot of vintage bottles and preferred bidding so that I could possible get a lower price. </p> <p>It's usually mostly about time vs. how much I "need" it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebay-bidding-versus-buy-it-now#post-2086581 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 11:45:19 +0000 catlady 2086581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer Buy It Now if the price is low, but I admit that I really like getting "deals" and you usually get the best ones with auctions with low starting prices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebay-bidding-versus-buy-it-now#post-2086525 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 11:23:44 +0000 Alivoo01 2086525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the listed Buy It Now price. if it's reasonable and fair, then I don't mind it. Otherwise, I prefer bidding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebay-bidding-versus-buy-it-now#post-2086514 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 11:16:47 +0000 autumnlove 2086514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer selling with the bid system and buy it now for buying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebay-bidding-versus-buy-it-now#post-2086512 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 11:15:13 +0000 swurlygurl 2086512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on the item. If it's something I purposefully went on there to search for and know that I want it, I prefer Buy it Now. If it's something I'm just randomly browsing or shopping for (like clothes) I prefer bidding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebay-bidding-versus-buy-it-now#post-2086481 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 11:01:11 +0000 pinkcupcake 2086481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if you shop on ebay, do you prefer bidding or buy it now options? I personally prefer buy it now, if the seller has priced their item reasonably (or if there's an offer option), rather than bidding - it's annoying having to watch auctions and make sure you don't get outbid at the last minute. </p> <p>Just wondering bc I've been spring cleaning and listing a ton of stuff on eBay lately... </p>
