Starting bid

[tombar10]

Hello, I'm new to selling. If I put a starting bid, it doesn't count as an actual bid if I get no more bids during the auction?

[pixiesen2012]

if someone places a bid and no one else bids you have to sell at the start price

you need to set your start price at the minimum you are willing to sell for

I mean if my own starting bid is the only bid, presumably I don’t sell it to myself?

[pixiesen2012]

you don't bid, there is a start price that you set, this isn't a 'bid'


if no one bids the item doesn't sell

Would make it simpler if they called it that, rather than Starting Bid!
