In most cases, an item shows the bid price and/or BIN in your local eBay currency. Easy. Simply use these prices to bid or buy.

You will often also see a minimum bid. Always use the minimum bid (or higher) when shown.

The fun begins when bidding on or buying an item listed from a different country.
2bid shows prices converted into your local currency followed by actual prices in parentheses.
When bidding or buying, you must use the prices in parentheses, in this case 9.99 Australian dollars.

Even when other prices are converted, the minimum bid price always displays the correct bidding currency.

Here is the first example as seen by a European 2bid user. Notice how both bid and BIN price convert to euros with dollars values displayed in parentheses. All eBay transactions for this item occur in dollars, the currency in which the item was listed.

That should cover it. If you need any more help, please feel free to email me. I'm Ty.
