Buy Now
Sellers can set a fixed price on an auction, called a Buy Now.
Sellers can offer a Buy Now price – by itself, or alongside an auction.
Who can use it?
Authenticated members
All authenticated members can use Buy Now on all listings where it's available.
Non-authenticated members
For non-authenticated memberships, Buy Now is only available when paying with Ping. To use Buy Now with another payment method, authenticate your account.
Auctions
- Some auctions have a Buy Now, alongside bidding.
- Buy Now is available until the reserve is met – after that, buyers need to bid until the auction ends.
- If Buy Now is selected, the auction will close once the purchase is confirmed.
Buy Now only
If a seller chooses to only offer Buy Now only, there won't be an auction.
Some listings offer multiple quantities of the same item – the quantity can be chosen before selecting Buy Now:
If the seller only accepts instant payment via Ping and/or Afterpay, payment is required to confirm the purchase. If other payment options are available, payment can be arranged later with the seller, within a week.
