Help! Buyer wants to Buy it now!

Hi everyone,

Sorry if this has been posted before. I listed an item last night and I got a questin from a bidder who wants to Buy it now. I am not sure how to do this or how it works.

Thanks
I am full of joy, abundance, wealth and love.

    You can add a BIN by clicking on revise my item. However you ar enot obliged to do so and need to consider whether you might get more by letting several bidders fight it out.

    Yes but I can't recall how much, sorry.

    I'm almost positive it's 40p to add Buy it Now to your listing :)

    Chances are your bidder thinks they'll get it cheaper this way- may be sensible to let the auction run it's course;)

    It costs 5p to add BIN to an auction style listing. Personally I never add a BIN because 9 times out of ten they never use it and wait to try and win the item at 99p ;)
