Buy Now is a useful option to add to your auction – it allows a buyer to skip the bidding process and buy the item right away, if they’re happy with the price you’ve set. If bidding starts on your auction where you have a Buy Now price, the ability to use Buy Now will no longer be available once the reserve has been met. This means no one can swoop in and use the Buy Now while a bunch of keen buyers are bidding. If people are already bidding on your auction it may even sell for more than your Buy Now price.

When you’ve sold something and the buyer has paid you via Ping, you can either keep the money there or transfer it out to your bank account. To sort that transfer, add your bank account details (which will then save) and select ‘Transfer out’ from ‘Manage Ping.’ The money will be in your bank account within 1–2 business days. You can also enable automatic transfers each time you are paid into your Ping account, or to do it manually.
