4 - Choose The Best Ones
The design of the Ebay site isn't exactly the best around, but it serves its purpose well. It's simple, but functional. There's no banner ads, Java or Flash to slow the site down.
You can either browse for what you want though the hierarchical categories or use the search engine. Browsing is simple, despite the thousands of items for sale, because of the tree-like way items are listed. The search engine is very good too. You can choose to search for items only in your country if you aren't willing to/can't send money abroad, you can exclude words from your search which is very useful if the word you search for regularly comes up with irrelevant items. (i.e. searching for the band Ash frequently produces Pokemon related results so the words "pokemon" and "pikachu" can be excluded to get better results).
You can search within a specific category only, which is useful in the music section where you only want CDs for example.

Cheap Hero Decks Philadelphia Phillies Playing Cards - Have You Bought Any
Ebay is the biggest online auction site in the world. It has a number of sites ranging across the globe from Ebay India, to UK, US, Germany, Canada and a host of others. To use the site in your area you need to sign up for it. You will also need a current credit or debit card, or bank account details if you want to sell on the site. To buy, you will require a Paypal Account available free of charge at http://www.paypal.co.uk . Paypal offers you some protection as a buyer.
Buying is slightly easier. You simply click to buy and make your bid. If it is highest at the end of the auction time which is shown on screen, you win. You will have chances to increase your bid if you wish. Care is needed when bidding though. Make sure that you have read the item description carefully as some of these can be very deceptive. For example, a friend of mine thought she was buying a bottle of Channel No5 that the seller claimed was an unwanted gift. She won it at 30 and was really pleased but what she had not noticed was that it was only a 5ml sample.
There is also a practise called shilling that raises its head from time to time on this site. This is where a seller, or a group known to that seller deliberately inflates the price of an item that is not attracting many bids.
If you are buying something that is expensive look at the seller's feedback and try to contact someone else who has previously dealt with them. Although feedback is provided by buyers and sellers this is not always reliable. There was recently a spate of sellers generating good feedback by selling items at 1p (you have to complete a transaction to leave feedback), in order to bump up their reputation.
Summary: Buying and selling on here can be fun but it is full of potential pitfalls.
