Buy It Now is the simplest way to buy on AJ.
It allows you to buy an item when you want it, at a known set
price.
When you see the icon next to a listing, or see a Buy It Now
price listed on an item page, the seller gives you the opportunity
to purchase the item right away without waiting for an online
auction to end.
There are two types of AJ listings that may have a Buy It
Now price:
Items that have a bid price and a Buy It Now price. You can
choose to place a bid and compete in the online auction or use
Buy It Now to purchase the item immediately. When it's part
of an auction-style listing, the Buy It Now option is only shown
on listings until an item receives its first bid. For a Reserve
Price Auction, the Buy It Now option is shown until the reserve
is met. This means that when you see that an item has both a
Buy It Now price and a first bid price listed, you will need
to act quickly!
Items that have a Buy It Now price only (no bidding) -- you
can purchase the item right away.
Important: Shipping and handling charges are not included in
the Buy It Now price. You may need to contact the seller to
determine the total price of the item. Check the item¨s description
for shipping and handling information and the seller has specified
that immediate payment is required. If the listing is a Pay
Now and Buy It Now item, the seller requires immediate payment,
so the shipping cost and other charges will be displayed in
the listing description.
Purchasing items using Buy It Now
Look for items with a Buy It Now price. You can easily identify
Buy It Now items on category browse pages or in your search

Important: For Buy It Now items that have both a bid price and
