Back in 1995 when eBay, www.ebay.com or www.ebay.ca, the Canadian site, was originally launched on the Internet, it was a place to trade collectables and hard-to-find items. Today eBay is a massive global marketplace where you can buy and sell just about anything you can think of.
There are three ways to buy goods on eBay. Probably the most popular is the auction-style method that involves bidding on an item within a specific period of time. When the time is up, the highest bidder gets the goods. This can be very exciting and a lot of fun, even addictive.

Software Detects eBay Fraud
If you are an eBay user, I’m sure that fraudulent actions on the mega auction service have often crossed your mind. Hopefully in the near future that won’t be an issue thanks to a new software developed at Carnegie Mellon called NetProbe. The data mining software could detect trends in artificial feedback, and identify those users to potential buyers.
“We want to help people detect potential fraud before the fraud occurs,” said research associate Duen Horng Chau, who developed NetProbe with professor Christos Faloutsos, undergraduate student Samuel Wang and graduate student Shashank Pandit.

eBay Shopping Tips
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.
