An auction is a process of buying and selling goods or services by offering them up for bid, taking bids, and then selling the item to the highest bidder. In economic theory, an auction may refer to any mechanism or set of trading rules for exchange. There are several variations on the basic auction form, including time limits, minimum or maximum limits on bid prices, and special rules for determining the winning bidder(s) and sale price(s). Participants in an auction may or may not know the identities or actions of other participants. Depending on the auction, bidders may participate in person or remotely through a variety of means, including telephone and the internet. The seller usually pays a commission to the auctioneer or auction company based on a percentage of the final sale price. From Wikipedia under the

Ebay normally takes something like a 9% final value fee and I think paypal takes 3%-4% of whatever goes into your paypal account. How do they handle penny auctions? Do you get like 0.4 cents or how does that work? Asked by Chicagodudeman Chicago - Sun May 23 23:07:55 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Are you doing it as an auction or a Buy It Now? Also, some listing fees vary by category. eBay Final Value Fees do not kick in until the price is at $0.06. So if it is an auction you will not be charged anything by eBay. PayPal will only charge the $0.30 transaction fee, which will be implemented against your PayPal account once the buyer has remitted payment (the 2.9% additional charge by PayPal would not apply in this case). The $0.29 you then owe PayPal (because you only received $0.01 from the buyer and PayPal charges $0.30) will then be taken by PayPal from whatever backup funding source you have associated with your PayPal account (i.e. bank account, credit card). If it is a Buy It Now, eBay will charge you $0.50 for listing and… [cont.] Answered by Virgy - Tue May 25 18:16:13 2010 How should I deal with a broker who sells cars bought from auctions? Q. A close friend of mine said he would like to introduce me to a local garage that sells cars bought from auctions. (I suppose the correct term to use is "a broker"). Apparently, cars sold this way can be reasonably cheap, and the broker in question also owns a garage that can repair the cars when necessary. As this is a close friend, I don't want to refuse, saying I'll meet the broker, although I don't really know how honest the broker is. Do you have any advice?

If the two add up to more than you are willing to spend, then it is not a good deal. Insist on a carfax report that shows all inscurance claims made for the VIN of the vehicle. Cars bought at auction could have serious frame damage, water or smoke damage too. Great that the guy can fix the cars, but unless you get something in writing that says he will do it for free it doesn't mean a thing. EDIT: He is a middle man, you can pay a small fee and buy a car at an auction and eliminate the middle man mark up if you want to do your homework. Either way inquire about an extended warranty first and call that part of the 'price'. Answered by matman - Mon Mar 16 12:54:30 2009 How do you batch ebay feedback for multiple auctions?
Q. I have had about 100 auctions this past week or so. I want to mass update the feedback of my buyers but I just cannot point and click on every single one. Is there a good free solution out there? Asked by Ty - Tue Apr 7 14:57:30 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. If the items are listed through Auctiva you can turn on Auto Feedback. There, you can even rotate between different feedback messages. If you receive a neutral or negative feedback it will not leave any feedback.
