For 3 Days, the "Buy It Now" option is FREE for auction-style listings that accept PayPal payments.

With Buy It Now and PayPal you can:
  • Sell Fast - offer buyers an item at a set price that they can purchase immediately
  • Get Paid Fast - offer buyers a safe, quick and convenient way to pay

  • When is it?
    Starting Tuesday, August 26 at 00:00:01 PDT (12:00 AM plus one second on August 26, 2003) and ending 23:59:59 PDT on Thursday, August 28, 2003 (11:59 PM plus 59 seconds).

    What are the fees?
    For auction-style listings (including Motors Vehicles and Non-Vehicles listings) the fee for the "Buy It Now" option will be $0.00 on the U.S. site (www.ebay.com) on listings that accept PayPal. PayPal must be selected as a payment option at the time of listing through eBay's Sell Your Item form or bulk listing tool such as Turbo Lister, Seller's Assistant or other third party tools. Listings created prior to August 26, 2003 that are scheduled to start during the promotional period August 26-28, 2003 will be eligible to receive the promotional rate. PayPal fees along with all other eBay fees (Insertion Fees, Final Value Fees and all other listing upgrade fees*) will still be charged.
     
    PLEASE NOTE: the discounted fees will not be immediately reflected on the site. You will see a credit to your sellers account in mid to late September 2003. In order to be eligible for the promotion, you must select PayPal as a payment option during the listing process. (For example, this is step 4 in the Sell Your Item Form - Payments and Shipping section)
