  13. Good Buying Practices • Read the item description carefully! • Ask the seller. condition, contents, age, history, shipping, insurance, or anything else, ask the seller before you bid! • Check the seller’s feedback.. If the seller is brand new and has no feedback… • Research the item’s price.

  14. Scandalous? Penny Bidding – legalized gambling? Bidding is not free! $.60 to $1.00 Each bid bumps the price up a penny. It also adds 10 to 20 seconds to a countdown clock. The goal is to be the high bidder when the clock runs out.

  15. Penny Bidding – legalized gambling? If you do win: You have won the right to buy the product at that price + all the bids you placed.

  16. Example iPad – retail $450+ You place 200+ bids at .50 cost $100 There may be 4000+ bids Only one person wins (all others lose the bid money) 4000 x .50 = $2000 If you won at that bid the price of the iPad would Be $4 you would have paid $100 + $4 They just sold a $450 iPad for $2000!

  17. Be a buyer • Check the price of similar items you want to sell • Write down: • the price, • shipping charges, • return policy • other relevant information • what did you like about the ad?
