Click and enter the starting price.

When setting your price, please keep in mind that eBay fees are
calculated based on the starting price of your auction. Most eBay
auctions start at $1, even if the item has a higher value. Through
the huge number of bidders on eBay, the item often reaches the
market price very quickly.

The availability of the pricing options presented below depends
on the user profile. Additional information can be found on the
eBay websites.

Fixed-Price Auctions

Instead of specifying a minimum price, you can also set a fixed
price for your item. Fixed-price auctions are not really auctions:
Buyers can only purchase your item at the set price, but cannot
bid.

Click and type in the price for your item.

Select this option to sell

your item at a fixed price.

When you set a fixed price for your auction, you can also choose
to use eBay’s “Best Offer” feature, which gives buyers and sellers a
quick, easy and safe way to negotiate prices online. With Best Of-
fer, potential sellers can suggest a price which they are willing to
pay, and you can decide whether to accept or reject the price.

iSale also offers options to automatically reject all offers below a
certain threshold, and to accept all offers above a certain thresh-
old. Of course, these thresholds are not disclosed to potential
buyers.

Select this option to

iSale will automatically decline offers

below this price. Setting an decline

price is optional.

iSale will automatically accept

offers above this price. Setting
