• I have an eBay® store - An eBay® store is a website contained within an eBay®  site.  

• Format - Select from:

• Unknown auction type - You can only offer a single item for sale with this type.

• Chinese auction - This is the normal eBay® auction type.  You can only offer a single item for sale with this type.

• Dutch auction - The current high bidder becomes the winning bidder and is computed using the normal Dutch auction logic.  A Dutch auction is a multiple item auction.  See eBay's® site for current posting requirements regarding Dutch auctions.

• Fixed Price item (BIN only) - ("BIN" means "Buy It Now") ( See eBay's® site for current posting requirements regarding Fixed Price auctions.) You can sell more than one item at the same time as a Fixed Price item, whereas with Buy It Now, you can sell only one item per listing.  Fixed Price format allows you to buy or sell items instantly at a set price, similar to the current Buy It Now option. .

• Buyers: Purchase items immediately - no bidding or waiting.

• Sellers: Sell items at the price you want without waiting for your listing to end. Example: Set the price for your item at $50 and sell it for $50.
