Private eBay Auctions

Any seller on eBay has the option to make their auction private. A private auction on eBay means that only the seller knows the identities of those bidding on the item or items being offered.

On the eBay website you can find this information posted by eBay regarding private auctions: “While there are some cases where private listings are appropriate, such as the sale of high-priced ticket items or approved pharmaceutical products, you should only make your listing private for a specific reason.”

Some sellers say that using the private auction option prevents their competitors from stealing their customers or knowing what they selling price of each item was. They also say that it protects their customers from SPAM that is initiated by their competitors.

EBay Auction Formats Youve Never Heard Of

Almost everybody who owns a personal computer and has an Internet connection knows what an eBay auction is.

Most of them have participated in at least one but those who havent are still well aware of eBay auction.

The usual eBay format and the one that most everybody uses is where an item is listed for an auction on eBay. Bids are accepted over a period of days. There are, however, three other types of eBay auctions.

1.The Live Auction: This auction is not conducted over several days but, rather, over a few hours and the items being auctioned are usually very expensive and/or very unique. These are auctions that are being conducted at auction houses.
