Steps
Community Q&A
-
QuestionHow can you say that you can not pay?Community AnswerBy not bidding in the first place. The site warns you about clicking the 'bid' button, telling you that you are liable to pay if you win the bidding. If you go ahead and click anyway, then you must pay.
-
QuestionHow long does it take for an ad to appear on eBay after I have submitted it?Community AnswerUnless you select to place the ad at a later time, the ad is placed pretty much instantly - within minutes at the longest. You will actually get an e-mail stating your listing is live.
-
QuestionWill eBay ship to Mexico?Community AnswerYes. By selecting international shipping, you can ship pretty much the world over.
Warnings
- Do not make bids that you can't actually back up financially. Each bid you make on eBay is considered a binding contract, and you will be given a poor rating (or possibly worse) if you back out on a winning bid.⧼thumbs_response⧽
