This is how eBay works - simply explained
eBay is an online marketplace where sellers and buyers from all over the world can sell and buy things - for example cars, clothes, books or antiques. You can choose from various product categories.

- A starting bid is selected for the online auction. All interested buyers can now bid on the item within a specified period. The buyer with the highest bid wins the auction and thus acquires the item.

- Auction and Buy It Now can also be combined.
- To be able to buy and sell things on eBay, you have to log in to eBay.
- After buying or selling it is possible to rate the buyer or seller.
