Listing Formats and How to List
You can list items using the Sell Your Item form or your favourite seller tool. All listing formats, including Auction-style and Fixed Price, will automatically appear in your Store.

Use Auction-style format when: You're unsure of the value of your item, there is high demand for your item, and you're willing to let the eBay Marketplace determine its value. You have unique and hard-to-find items that could attract demand and spur a bidding war, maximizing profits from your listing. You are currently using Auction-style format listings and you have a high sell-through rate (your items typically sell the first time you list them).

Use Fixed Price when: You have multiple items that you can place into one listing. You know the value of your item or know the exact price you need to get for it. You have a lot of inventory and want to minimize your upfront Insertion Fees. Use 30-day durations and try automatic renewals (Good 'Til Cancelled) to boost efficiency. You want your items to be available to buyers for more than seven days.

Consider using a combination of both Auction-style and Fixed Price when: You sell a variety of items and want to attract both bidders and buyers—those looking for a deal on Auction-style listings and others who prefer the convenience of Fixed Price purchases. You want to maximize demand for your inventory and leverage Auction-style and Fixed Price to help drive bidders and buyers to your other listings. You want to test the different formats and see which one works best for you.
