Fixed Price Overview
Since we introduced Buy It Now for auction-style items, our community indicated a strong desire to buy and sell some items at a set price. As a result, we have added a new Fixed Price selling format option. Although auction-style listings will still be an important part of buying and selling on eBay the new Fixed Price format:
- Gives sellers an alternative to the auction-style formats for selling items at a fixed price
- Provides an easy way for buyers to locate and purchase items instantly
- Gives sellers an easy option to sell multiple quantities of the same item at set prices
- Attracts new buyers and sellers who prefer to sell and purchase at a set price
- Shows fixed price items in eBay's regular search and listings pages
What is Fixed Price?
The new Fixed Price format allows you to buy or sell items instantly at a set price, similar to the current Buy It Now option available with auction-style listings.
- Buyers: Purchase items immediately - no bidding or waiting. It's the fastest, most convenient way to shop.
- 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.
What's the difference between Fixed Price listings and Auction-style listings with a Buy It Now price?
Sellers: Choose from two Buy It Now options and make faster sales. To list single-quantity Fixed Price items, you must have a feedback rating of 10 or more (or be ID Verified ). If you have a PayPal account and accept PayPal as a payment method on the listing, your feedback rating only needs to be 5 or more. To list multiple items in a single Fixed Price listing, you must have a feedback rating of 30 or more and be a registered user for at least 14 days (or be ID Verified). If you have a PayPal account and accept PayPal as a payment method on the listing, your feedback rating only needs to be 15 or more.
