As most savvy online shoppers know, great deals can be had on eBay. However, it pays to be vigilant when you're trolling for those bargains. Here's a list of shopping tips to keep in mind, courtesy of the world's biggest online auction site.
Review Feedback - Be sure to check an eBay member's feedback score to get a sense of the sellers' reputation. Typically, a high feedback score and high percentage is a good sign, but you should always check your trading partner's member profile to view feedback comments and ratings left by others.
Protect Your Purchase - Take a close look at the eBay protection programs. The auction site offers a standard purchase protection program that will cover most items up to $200 (minus a $25 processing fee) in the event you don't receive your order or it fails to live up to its description. The site also offers a PayPal Buyer Protection service that provides free coverage up to $1,000.
Use a Safe Payment Method - Learn the benefits and risks of each payment option. PayPal, for example, offers a fast and secure way to conduct a transaction.
Contact the Seller - Most transaction problems can be prevented, as well as resolved, by communicating directly with the eBay seller.
Good luck and tell us about your best purchase on eBay.
