eBay was conceived as an online auction site, and is still known for its auction-format listings. But there's more to eBay than auctions; you can also buy merchandise on eBay without all that bidding and waiting.

If you want your merchandise now, you need to check out eBay's various fixed-priced item listings. Whether it's an auction with a Buy It Now option or an item for sale (not auction) in an eBay Store, there's a lot of merchandise available, no bidding required!
