A live auction is a fascinating and exciting place to visit. Many older and rural folks can recall visiting an auction during their growing up years. Some times it was called a farm sale, or an estate sale, or sadly a tax sale. The auctioneer would present and sell off the accumulation of a lifetime, one piece at a time. The rapid running patter of his speech was almost unintelligible at first, and then the words and phrases began to make sense, and a pattern emerge. The pace would be slow, with crowds seemingly reluctant to make the first commitment, then the opening bid would be made and the price usually climbed from there with less committed bidders dropping out as the prices climbed until finally one successful bidder selected with a "Sold" and the dropping of the auctioneer's gavel.

E-bay auctions have many similarities with the live auctions of yesteryear, but also some differences. The items presented may be parts of lifetime collections or may simply be a piece purchased from a yard sale up the road a ways that looked like it might bring something on E-bay auctions. Many times there will be an opening bid placed by the seller, and then no action for a day or two, sometimes nothing will happen with the bidding until the last few hours of the life of the listing. Then there may be a flurry of bids, running right up until the final seconds of bidding. E-bay auctions aren't prolonged until the final two bidders are fully finished with their bidding. E-bay auctions rely on a strict time schedule-right down to the second.

Once the bidding is finished on E-bay auctions, you must pay for your purchase and then wait for it to arrive via delivery service, US mail or other method. If the E-bay auctions item is not what you expected, you can complain to the seller, to E-bay auctions, to the credit card company or to the legal representatives if things cannot be resolved via any other method.

E-bay auctions serve a useful function even if the price is about the same as what you would pay in a bricks and mortar store. For the buyer, it provides a world class market with literally millions of opportunities to purchase. For the seller, it opens the doors and encourages millions of customers to view your listing items so they may continue to purchase and provide the seller with a good incomde.
