If the reserve bid has been met, the item will sell to the highest bidder when the auction finishes.If you are the highest bid at the close of the auction, and the auction has met its reserve price, then you are the winner. The reserve price is the lowest price the seller is willing to sell their item for.Both you and the seller will receive automated emails from BuyinFiji containing each other’s email addresses. It is then up to you and the seller to make contact and arrange both the payment and shipping details. Buy Now Buy now allows sellers to set a price for which they are willing to sell an item for immediately. If you have a set price in mind that you want to sell an item for, you can add the option of foregoing the auction process all together by adding a buy now price.
