Ebay Live Auctions

eBay also holds live auctions, where you’ll find rare and unusual items for sale. You can access the live auction area from a link on the home page or by going directly to www.ebayliveauctions.com. To sell on eBay Live Auctions, you must be a registered, licensed auction house. eBay Live Auctions supply nonstop, live auction action right on your desktop. Joining a live auction is a great deal of fun. These auctions happen in real time; you can see (and participate in) the bidding auction on your screen as it’s happening. Licensed auction houses run live auctions from their locations, which are broadcast worldwide through eBay. You have to register individually for each auction in which you want to participate, and a buyer’s premium is involved. More and more auctioneers are using this format to expand their customer bases. As an eBay community member, you’re able to bid on items featured in live auctions. As a matter of fact, while writing this chapter, I spent a few hours bidding (and buying) in a coin auction! It’s a good way to increase your own stock of merchandise to sell.
