Full review
Ebay can be a great tool for shopping and a way to save some money. I have to give a mix review because it does have a few weaknesses.
First Ebay is easy to sign up. I recommended using it with PayPal. Once you sign up you will have a MyEbay webpage. There it will store all things you are watching or bidding on, plus items you already won. It has some nice features like the watching, where you may be deciding on something but are not ready to make a bid yet. Also it has a feature to add favorite sellers or even a search.
To find items you just search. The more specific the better. Once you find an item you like then you just click to bid. Some have minimum bids, and always watch shipping costs! This is one of the biggest problems on EBAY is that a seller will put something super cheap but then charge a ridiculous ammount to ship.
Ebay is easy, all the tabs are clearly marked. However the main tip, is always read the fine print on every auction before bidding. Look at the sellers feedback (what other customers thought about that seller). if you have a problem with a Seller, then all you need to do is report to ebay. Ebay for the most part though, takes care of itself. No seller wants written negative thoughts written on their page for other potential customers. So if there is a problem it usually resolves itself with minimal effort. Just don't be afraid to complain :).
Delivery is the only other thing I do no like. But it is not the websites fault but sometimes the seller. So beware even though you may pay for your purchase immediately, they may be a little slower in shipping.
Overall I like the site and I have learned to be cautious and read all fine print. Now EBaY is a great tool for finding treasure!
