Cut-price FT230H First Team 60in x 36in Tempered Glass Basketball Backboard with H Frame
I cant claim to be either a professional eBay user, or even a semi-professional eBay user, but I have used it quite a lot, both as a buyer, and to a lesser extent as a seller, but maybe, just maybe theres some advice in here that novices might find useful.
Ill also touch upon Paypal, which, although it is another organisation, being a payment processor not an auction site, just so happens to be part of the same parent company as eBay, and so the two are inexorably linked, seemingly.
WHAT IS eBAY?
Well, its nowt but a damned-great car-boot sale on the internet with all that this implies. You can buy things there or sell things. Some sellers are traders, others are private. Id imagine that a larger proportion of buyers are private, unless a crafty trader sees a bargain they can sell for more later!
It carries with it, just like a car boot sale, one huge caveat
KNOW YOUR PRICES.....AND KEEP YOUR HANDS IN YOUR POCKETS
...err, that's TWO HUGE caveats, sorry, I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition.
Its very easy to assume that an open air market is cheaper than conventional retail, and the same applies here. Time and time again, people buy at markets, only to find theyve paid the bog-standard High Street price.
So many times Ive checked the Amazon price for something on eBay to find that its only a little higher than buying a possibly second-hand version of it, say a camera, on eBay.
I put this down to the fact that amateurs selling used electronics sometimes have an inflated view of the items current worth; lets say half of what they paid for it.
To be fair, this rule-of-thumb works fine for most inanimate objects with the notable exception of modern technology.
For example, the Casio 3.4 mega-pixel camera I paid 700 for, 5 years ago, is now virtually worthless, having been surpassed by even the most entry level digital cameras, some with 5 mega-pixels and price tags of 70. You need to be realistic about these things, and agree never to be an early-adopter again if you dont want to get caught like this.
Then again, if an electronic item works and you have no use for it, dont wait for it to go faulty, sell it; just dont expect to get a lot for it!
In the same way as its possible to get carried away on the spur of the moment (heh, its a market, it has to be cheaper, hasnt it?), dont get caught up in the thrill of the chase and bid more than you intended just to get one up on the second highest bidder, who may, very sensibly have stuck at a level theyve researched as being worth paying.
Quite often, you, as the second highest bidder will be offered the goods at your price just because youve met some invisible ceiling price that the seller had in mind, and theyve got more than one of whatever it was you were bidding for. Anyway, it saves them the expense of re-advertising Ill come to fees later.
This happened to me a while back. I was prepared to pay 150 and no more for a Canon Ixus 750 from the official Canon Refurbished site where shop-returns are repacked as new and guaranteed by Canon for a full year. I was outbid at the last moment by someone prepared to pay 165 but I still got the camera, warranty and all for my price because they had nine of them for sale. In this case, I was also aware that I was buying a superseded model (now the Ixus 900 Titanium), but someone buying on a whim could feel cheated when they find its not the latest item.
Dont just know your prices; know your product variants too!

14K Diamond Cut Figaro Link ID Bracelet by Baby Gold - They are Readily Available And Inexpensive
I will have to say in all the years of using the internet and buying a lot of things online Ebay has to be one of the easiest and cheapest ways of buying online.
I started using Ebay about 3 years ago now and can only regret that I hadn't joined earlier, not only was the site so easy to navigate but everything was so clearly laid out and easy to find.
Ebay has so many goods available for sale that it has to be by far the biggest auction site on the internet, here are my reasons for using Ebay :
Advantages :
1: Website so easy to navigate
2: Thousands of categories to choose from making buying and selling so easy.
3: The abiltity to add pictures etc to your auctions for better acurate descriptions of the goods for sale.
4: Rating system giving you the buyer the oppertunity to suss out what other people think of that person before hand.
5: Insurance so that if a person doesn't keep to there side of the bargain you wont loose out.
6: Member watching page giving you the oppertunity to watch any items price until the auction end so you can jump in at the right time.
7: Member section allowing you to keep an eye on your finances ie: how much you owe Ebay, how much you are making from your auctions and how long they have left,and how much you are buying, whether you are winning and how long they have left.
You will find it incredibly enjoyable but you will also find some great bargains that you may never see anywhere else.
Thats it, enjoy.
Summary: Can find great bargains, and make money on your old stuff

Cheap....a Cute Clear Swarovski Cube Crystal 925 Sterling Silver Leverback Dangle Earrings that You Were Craving for
I have been both a buyer and a seller on EBay for some time now and I love it, I mean where else could you find a range of goods from a bag of unused plastic smarty lids from a guy who used to work in the Nestle factory to top quality designer clothing and shoes from Italy? There is still a myth which surrounds EBay that say`s if you want something you will find it cheaper on EBay, this is just not true in all occasions. Although there are undoubtedly loads of bargains to be had you can quite often be taken in by the whole experience and find that once you add postage and packing to your orders they can indeed be found cheaper other places.
EBay is simple to use and very quick and easy to join although a PayPal account is almost a must but again Paypal is also easy to sign up to and once you have your PayPal buying and selling becomes very easy on EBay and about as secure as you can get also. I have used EBay for a large variety of things including designer shoes, an Italian football top for an ex, second hand books for college during my time there and many other things beside. I have never had a problem with anything I have bid for on EBay and my best friends boyfriend has recently just bought a car from a seller on EBay again without issue. I know some people do have horror stories to tell about EBay experiences but I firmly believe if you are careful you will have a good experience on the site.
The site and it`s search engine are very reliable and I have never went to EBay and found the site to be down or running particularly slow which is a good achievement for a site of its size with so many users. Have a browse and prepare to be surprise at what you find!
