ebay 'bid' or 'Buy It Now' question

I was just wondering...

is there any benefit to winning an auction on an item to 'buying' it now? The bidding price for something I want just reached the 'Buy It Now' price... so shouldn't I just stop the sillyness and 'Buy It Now'? Or is there a shipping advantage or something to winning it by auction?

I really am not a pro at ALL at this ebay stuff! lol

I would say if the 'Buy it Now' price is something that you would be willing to pay, just 'Buy it Now'. I don't think there is any advantage in shipping or anything else if you win it by auction.

Just so you know, in some auctions, once you start bidding, the 'Buy it Now' option disappears, so you might end up paying more than the 'Buy it Now' price.

When the current auction ends (it pretty much repeats every week... I just keep losing. lol), I'll have the option to 'buy it now' again, right? This is getting annoying! I'm just trying to save 20 bucks! lol. Screw it! I'm just buying it now... next week! lol Thank you!

It's up to the seller whether it has the Buy It Now option, so if the seller has it again, I would say yeah, just buy it. It's not worth the time to bid it sometimes.

1) If you bid there is a chance you get out bid.
2) If you bid you could get the item at a lower price then someone elses buy it now

3) If you bid youget out bid and loose the item

4) If you really like the item and want it and the price is righ then do a BIN ....

Shipping doesn't change unless they have it in the auction sometimes I willput a Free Ship for BIN...

Ask the seller hat she could do for the ship if you bin.
