Belt Auction

How exactly does eBay work with bidding on stuff?

If the starting bid is 1 dollar, and I bid 2 dollars. Lets say I win that auction, does this mean I only pay 2 dollars plus shipping prices?

1. If you win the auction, that's what will happen.
2. Yes that is right because all you bidded was 2$ but the seller can choose to not sell the item and not take your money aswell Edit: 2$ becasue that is what you bid*ed and perhaps your bid was so high that no one even wanted to bother for example if a ipod nano has a starting bid of $.01 and you bid 50$ on it and no one else bids you would still pay 50$ for it becasue the seller will not give it to you for $.01 anyways even if it was that way
3. no then i think u only pay 1 dollar. ebay has a high bid thing, it works like this: lets say a high bid for an item is 1 dollar. You bid 100 dollars. that means 100 dollars is you high bid. You only have to pay 1 dollar. Someone else pays 5 dollars. your high bid is 100 so ur still winning, but u pay just enough to win. Check it out on the help
4. Yes. Whatever the amount you won the item at, that is all you will have to pay for it, plus shipping and handling.
