Fine. What about if I want to buy a buy it now item? Same deal? - Thanks, Tony   10-19-2007, 05:19 PM   #2 (permalink) gmarguli Slightly Evil™     Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 389 No. You'll just pay the asking price plus shipping. __________________ Greg   10-19-2007, 05:25 PM   #3 (permalink) tcekolin Junior Member   Join Date: Jun 2007 Posts: 10 Thanks! I tried to find that information on their site, but I never could so I knew I could get it here. - Tony   10-20-2007, 12:46 AM   #4 (permalink) Vitagen Member   Join Date: Oct 2007 Posts: 43 Pro Auctioneer Lingo? I remember getting confused over the term "Buyer Premium" as well, when I bought a bunch of coins through an eBay Live Auctioneer. I also found out that the buyer premium was just the total costs, plus s/h. ummm...why do they call it that, then?   10-20-2007, 09:04 AM   #5 (permalink) ziggy9 Coin Collector     Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Pats country! Posts: 1,703 My Mood: Vitagen Buyer premium is not just the total costs plus s?h. If an auction has a buyer's premium of 10% you will take the high bid and ADD 10% to that, and then s/h. If bidding on a high priced item this can be a BIG surprise if you don't understand this up front.
