Auction - A Traditional Auction listing will sell the items to the highest bidder. A start price will be specified, and people bid against each other in specified bid increments.  In a traditional auction there may be a Reserve and Buy Now price set. When listing a Traditional Auction, the quantity of goods is equal to one.

Example:

• One pair of jeans has a quantity of 1.
• A lot of 5 different men’s shirts have a quantity of 1 because they are all sold together as one item.

Dutch Auction – A Dutch Auction is another name for a multiple item auction. These listings are for selling more than one identical item individually in an auction format. Rather than creating a listing for each item, we will sell them all, one at a time, with one listing. Buyers can submit a bid for one, or multiple items in a Dutch Auction listing. When there are multiple buyers for a Dutch Auction, the item’s final cost is the lowest successful bid by the highest bidders.

Fixed Price - A Fixed Price listing does not allow bidding. There is only one acceptable price for the item(s). One item or multipled items can be sold in one Fixed price listing. Because there is no bidding on fixed priced listings, all items are Buy Now.

Classified Ad - In a Classified Ad, there is an asking price, the shipping cost, and any information about the item or service that is for sale.

Buy Now - Some items have the option for a Buy Now price. The Buy Now feature allows instant purchasing.

• All Fixed Price listings - The Fixed Price is automatically the Buy Now price.

Reserve - The Reserve price is the absolute minimum dollar amount that will be accpeted for an item. Buyers are notified after placing their bid if it is below the Reserve price.If a Buyer's maximum bid is greater than the Reserve price, the Reserve is automatically met and that user is the high bidder. The ability to set a Reserve price is only available to Traditional Auctions .
