An auction item can only be "Buy Now" by 1 bidder. If a bidder successfully "Buy Now" now he or she will not be able to bid the particular auction item. Other bidders are still eligible to bid but will now not able to "Buy Now". The auction will continue uninterrupted for all other bidders.

If you place a "Bidky" on the auction item and decide to "Buy Now", the Bidky will automatically stop and the remaining Bidky bids will return to your bid account.

"Buy Now" gives you an option to purchase the product by paying the difference between the value of your spent bids in that auction and the product value.

Bidders are not allow to "Buy Now" if the auction closed.
