Buying and Selling on ebay can save you money. It can also make you money if you learn to understand the concept.

Steps

1. Learn to do productive searches for items of interest.

2. Mark those items to watch on your My eBay.

3. Watch items of interest until the last 5-10 minutes of auction.

4. Go to auction page and prepare proxy bid. Be cheap. Don’t set proxy higher than you are willing to go. REMEMBER you will also pay shipping when you win the auction. Consider this as part of your total investment.

5. As late as you dare, click bid.

6. If you lose, try again on the next watched auction.

7. If you win, pay promptly.

8. Make sure you don’t enter the wrong amount

Tips

* Never overbid on an item there are a lot of - if there’s another item identically priced, bid only a little on the first, and push them both up at the same rate, until you are the winning bidder.

* If you aren’t available during the end of the auction, consider using a third-party bidder, such as eSnipe or PhantomBidder. These tools also allow you to bid at the last minute so you can avoid getting into bidding wars.

* Many auctions finish without any bids because the seller has made spelling mistakes in their auction eg Britanny Spears. These are potential bargains. Tools like Invisible-Auctions.com, Missing-Auctions.com or Typozay can help you find these auctions and save money.

* Bid during the summer or other holiday periods as many bidders are not in front of their computer so less competition.

* Look for auctions that are finishing early in morning or late at night.

* Bid odd values - eg $10.23 rather $10 - as most people bid in round numbers.

* If you are paying by PayPal - do a quick search in Google for Paypal codes. Often you can get sizable discounts on your final purchase cost or free postage.

* Watch out for postage. Many sellers compensate for low prices (and avoid fees!) by charging high postage.

* Look out for free or cheap listing days. There are usually a lot more auctions chasing the same amount of bidders in the week after these so great potential for bargains.

* REMEMBER: people will buy anything and every thing so if you think that something is outrageous chances aer tha tpoeple will want it somewhere.

Warnings

* Don’t spend more than you’ve got, muppet.

On freezing the account of the seller, you have to contact eBay to get the name and address of the seller. If you don’t have the phone number, use the name and address to find it. With all this information, you will be able to do a quick background check on the seller to find out if the address he had provided eBay is matches his exact address.

This can be done using a reverse address check which is offered by Google for free. There are lots of sites on Google that do this for you. All you have to do is to enter the address given to you by eBay.

With this, you should find a phone number that is associated with the address. If you don’t find anything, you could go to Intelius and provide the information you had collected. Though this may cost $30, you will get the phone number and name of the person staying at the given address.

All transactions that you carry out over eBay will lead to buyers and sellers leaving feedback about each other. This is why you have to ensure that the feedback you leave is not a negative one.

Moreover, once you get a negative feedback, don’t think that eBay will remove it. Only if you have a very special occasion will eBay remove any negative feedback, so be cautious in your dealings and transactions.

Never bid on your own, or friend’s item as this is not only a federal offense, eBay will finally catch up on you and suspend your account.

With the first suspension, you face a 14 day restriction; however if you end up with more suspensions, your account is removed with no chance of any appeals.

Don’t you hate it when you win something on eBay, and then when it comes in the mail it’s not what you thought it was? Well, that’s what this is for, to teach you when you should and shouldn’t bid on eBay.

Steps

1. Always contact the seller before you bid. This helps you get a good idea of what kind of a seller he/she is. This also allows you to ask questions about the object. They don’t always include every detail. Whether it is a mistake or not, the listings should be very accurate, so if there’s any question about what something includes or doesn’t, if it has a return policy or not, or anything you might not understand, email the seller. If they do not email you back, do not bid on the item unless your question wasn’t going to affect your bidding. If anything should go wrong, and you have a good explanation, you can retract your bid if it’s before the auction ends.

2. Read the description very carefully. If you made a mistake, misread, didn’t read the whole description, etc., you can’t blame the seller. If you won an item that you don’t want because you made a mistake, it’s yours. The only way to send it back is if the seller has a return policy. Then again, you could refuse to accept it, but you would have to deal with eBay. If the description isn’t clear, don’t bid on it. Email the seller and ask in detail about what you don’t understand.

3. Take a look at the seller’s feedback. If he has good feedback, you can probably trust him. Also, look at some of the comments he’s received. Sometimes a seller will get pretty bad comments. Depending on what the comment is about, you can probably determine whether you should bid on the item. Also, look at the type of items the seller usually sells. If the item you’re looking at is unlike anything they usually sell, it could be cause for suspicion.

4. Make sure you know how they would make you pay. Some sellers use PayPal, which is very helpful when it comes time to pay. If he wants your credit card number and you don’t want to give it to him, use an alternative way to pay. If there are no other alternative ways, you will have to give him your card number, although most sellers use PayPal or another type of payment system.

5. Always total up the cost of the item and the shipping cost, and the insurance cost should you choose to put insurance on it. Sometimes the item will sell for a pretty low price, until you look at the shipping cost. You could end up paying much, much more than you had planned because you didn’t look at the shipping price.

6. Shop around to find the best deal. Sometimes you’ll have your eye on a certain item, when another auction might have fewer bidders, less time, and be going for a lower price. Always have more than one option, if possible.

7. Take note where the seller lives. The farther a seller lives from you, the more the shipping cost will be. If he lives close to you, you might be able to save the money and pick it up personally.

8. Look for ‘Buy It Now’ items. Sometimes these items are better than the auction items. Even though some of them might be a little or a lot more expensive than the auctions, you can ensure that you will get the item and that somebody else can’t pull it right out from under you.

9. Make sure you know how long it will take for the item to get to you. If the item is for a birthday, Christmas, or any other type of present, make sure that the item will reach you within enough time. In reality, you can’t find out what day, hour, minute, or second it will arrive, but you should get an approximation. If it doesn’t reach you in the approximated time, contact the seller. Do not contact Ebay. It might not have arrived when you expected for a number of reasons: the seller didn’t send it soon enough, there were problems with the mail, etc. If the seller sent it, then it’s neither you nor the seller’s fault. The seller should then contact the mail service. If the problem is with the seller, such as he changed his mind and doesn’t want to sell, then contact eBay. They will take care of the matter. You might not get your item but you will get your money back, and most likely the seller will be banned from eBay for a while.

10. Always note the item number. This is the best way to keep track of an item you have won, bid on, or are planning to bid on. Sometimes the auction will be taken off of eBay for certain reasons. If you need to email the seller about an item not arriving to you, and the auction has been removed from eBay because it’s over, you can type in the item number and get all the information you need from the auction page.

11. Check if a return policy is offered. Sellers that stand behind their products will offer a return policy. Be sure to read the terms and conditions as most return policies expire very quickly.

Tips

* The safest way to pay for your eBay items is via Paypal funded with a credit card.

* Never pay for your eBay items via Western Union money transfer. If the deal goes bad, there is no way for you to recover these funds. It is now against eBay rules for sellers to ask for payment via this method.

Warnings

* If a deal sounds too good to be true, it is probably fraudulent.

* There is no eBay warehouse. eBay and/or SquareTrade are not escrow services.

* Use only the eBay recommended escrow service www.escrow.com. Anyone suggesting a different escrow service is most likely trying to scam you.

* Spend some time reading the Trust & Safety discussion board before bidding, especially before bidding on anything expensive.

* Beware the snipers. Many people will wait on eBay until a few seconds before an auction is over. This is one more reason to have extra alternatives.

There aren’t that many scammers on eBay - but the ones there are tend to be greedy. This means that they will always try to pull their scams on high-value items like cars and computers, so that they can make a lot of money quickly. Since buyers generally buy these items very rarely, they may not know about the various scams out there.

Steps

1. Automobile Scams

2. With cars, you will generally find that scammers try to get you to send them money in advance, for whatever reason. For some reason, some people aren’t all that reluctant to pay 50% or 25% of the money before delivery using a relatively insecure payment method, especially on a car. They reason that the seller will obviously deliver it, as they’ll want the other half of the money.

3. But there never was a car! Pictures of cars aren’t hard to find, and the experienced scammers will have a whole library of pictures of different cars. The seller just got your $5,000 for nothing, and you can leave them all the negative feedback you like. They’ll just go and open another eBay account and find their next sucker.

4. While it’s not an outright scam, what you might find is that the car does turn up, but simply doesn’t live up to the description - it has been oversold, in the tradition of used car dealers through the ages. If this happens to you then you should open an eBay dispute and say your item was not as described - you might get a partial refund.

5. Computer Scams

6. If you bid in a computer auction but don’t win, the seller might email you to ask whether you would like to buy a computer the same as the one they just sold through their own website.

7. This is a bad idea! You have no guarantee that the item will ever arrive, and you haven’t just given them your money - you’ve given them your credit card details too.

8. There are sellers with nothing but positive feedback who use this scam often - and since you won’t be able to leave them any feedback on the transaction, their reputation will stay that way. If you complain to eBay that you bought an item outside the site and got scammed, they will tell you to get lost and not do it again.

9. How to Beat the Scams

10. There are lots of ways to beat the scams. First, whenever you buy anything expensive, be sure to check your seller’s reputation thoroughly. Make sure they have sold items of a similar high value before, and haven’t just sold a string of $10 items to get their feedback rating artificially high. If you want to be even more cautious, insist that the money is placed in an escrow service (eBay recommend escrow.com - don’t use any other service unless you’re sure of it).

Tips

* To be honest, it’s generally quite a bad idea to use eBay to buy things like cars and computers to begin with - you can get them anywhere, and the discounts aren’t that big any more. It’s better to use eBay for those rare, special things that you can’t find anywhere else.
