How to accept a bid on an item I am selling
I see that I have bids on a couple items I am selling, but do not see a link to accept the bids?!

Mentor1 month agoNo problem! Just like with buy it now orders, make sure eBay says it is ok to ship first. Ship only to the address provided at checkout by the buyer.
