When you purchase on ebay you can chose from ‘buy it now’ which is like going into a store, picking it up from the shelf and going to the checkout, or an auction option. An auction runs for a specified amount of time, and when it ends, the highest bidder wins it at that particular price. Very often, auction items finish at lower prices than buy it nows.

However, do be aware that auction items are not covered by law under the distance selling regulations. What this means is that you don’t have the 7 day ‘cooling off period’ with an auction purchase whereby you can send it back and receive a full refund. Although you are still covered by the item needing to be ‘as described’ whichever way you purchase the item.
