Can The Buy It Now Sign On eBay...

[Clowgon]

put off potential bidders?

Just wondering cus I've got an item on there which has the Buy It Now Sign and unfortunately hasn't attracted any bids yet.

What are you selling?

Yeah, it depends on what you're selling.

Hmm ok. It's mainly because people think that if the seller has the buy it now sign they will probs most likely not hand over the item/items.

I was reading a article on eBay and it said you shouldn't really buy an item using the buy it now button because if you don't receive the item it will be hard to trace the buyer or something.

EDIT: No matter. Just had 2 bids of £30.00 so it's all good.

[leah]

hmm I dont think so

[Immenseman]

it never puts me off? maybe there just isnt any interest atm

Sometimes I think, well if he's willing to sell at that price then I can't be getting a good deal.

If anything, it draws me to the product so I know I don't have to wait days to know whether I have won the product or not :)

I prefer bids because I can get the item cheaper, lol.

Bidding bores me. Good BINs attract my attention.
