Tips And Tricks For Using eBay Search

If you know what you’re doing, you can quickly find what you’re looking for on eBay. Here are some golden rules.

Be specific: If you’re looking for the first edition of the original Harry Potter book, you’ll get more searches for “Harry Potter Rowling Philosopher’s Stone First Edition” than “Harry Potter.” You’ll get fewer results, but the ones you do get will be much more relevant.

Misspelling: It’s a sad fact that many sellers on eBay simply can’t spell. Regardless of what you’re looking for, try to think of some common misspellings – chances are fewer people will find these items, and therefore they’ll be cheaper.

Get a thesaurus – You should try to look up all the different words someone might use to describe your item, for example by looking for both ‘TV’ and ‘television’, or ‘phone’, ‘mobile’ and ‘cellphone’. However, where you can skip the item type altogether and search for things like make and model.

Use categories: Every time you search, you’ll see a list of categories next to the search results. If you just searched for a CD name because you want to buy that CD, you must click on the ‘CD’ category to see the results in that category. Why bother looking at a bunch of results that don’t interest you?

Don’t be afraid to browse – once you’ve found the category where the items you like seem to be in, why not click ‘Browse’ and take a look at the entire category? You may be surprised by what you find.

Few people realize how powerful eBay’s search engine is – a few symbols here and there will do wonders for you.

Wildcard searches: You can put an asterisk (*) in a search phrase when you want to say “anything can go here”. For example, if you wanted to search for a car from the 1950s, you could search for ‘car 195*’. 195* will show results for any year in the 1950s.

In this order: If you put words in quotes (“”), the only results that will be displayed will be those with all the words in quotes. For example, if you search for “The Lord of the Rings” you will not get any results that say, for example, “Lord Robert Rings”.

Exclude words: Put a minus sign and then put the words in parentheses that you don’t want to appear in the search results. For example: “Pulp Fiction” -(poster, photo) will find items related to Pulp Fiction but not posters or photos.

Either: If you want to search for many words at once, simply enclose them in parentheses: the TV example above could become ‘(TV,television)’, which would find items with either word.

So once you’ve found your sale item, bid on it and won it, what happens if it all goes wrong? Don’t worry, eBay has a full dispute resolution procedure, and we’ll cover it in some depth in the next article, so you’ll be prepared if the worst happens.

Safe Harbor; eBay’s Scotland Yard.

SafeHarbor is eBay’s police department. If you break the rules, commit fraud, or try to buy something you’re not supposed to, they’ll come after you.

When you don’t pay

This is the most common rule that buyers break: it is very easy to change your mind and try to get out of the auction. eBay views each auction as a contract and will punish you if you don’t keep your end of the bargain.

If you decide not to pay, expect to get some nasty warning emails from eBay threatening to ban you if you do it again. Not to mention, of course, that you will get a huge negative “DID NOT PAY” feedback from the seller.

So are there things you can’t buy on eBay?

Yes, there is: more stuff than you might expect. It makes sense that you can’t buy firearms, for example, but you can’t buy fireworks, either: eBay is concerned about the risks of sending them through the mail.

Laws in many countries mean that you cannot buy alcohol or tobacco. You may not purchase illegal or prescription drugs, stocks or shares, or lottery tickets. Neither underwear.

Puppies or kittens cannot be purchased as pets, as animals are prohibited. If the items infringe copyright, such as pirated CDs or software, they are also not allowed.

eBay’s policy is controversial, not least because it’s somewhat haphazard in its enforcement, and there have been accusations that it’s more about copyright concerns from big business than auctioning off items that might actually be dangerous.

However, if they decide to go after you or the seller, they will cancel the auction and may also suspend your accounts.

Fraud.

eBay works remarkably well considering how unregulated it is, but there are still scammers out there.

If you are a victim of fraud, for example, you pay for an item that never shows up, SafeHarbor will investigate for you. eBay’s Standard Purchase Protection will pay you back up to $200 if your claim is successful. Please note, however, that this may take a few months.

Also, if you paid with PayPal, they can usually reverse the transaction relatively easily and get more (if not all) of your money back.

This is another reason why many buyers prefer to use PayPal. Some sellers are a little scared by the effectiveness of the refund system, as they may send items in good faith only to find out that their buyer was fraudulent and the transaction was reversed. If you are concerned about fraud, as a buyer you should always use PayPal.

What’s that? Don’t know how to use PayPal? Well, lucky for you, the following article is about using PayPal to improve your life on eBay.

Using PayPal on eBay.

PayPal and eBay were made for each other, and now that eBay owns PayPal, using them together is even easier.

What is Paypal?

People with PayPal accounts can send money to each other securely online.

You can deposit money to a PayPal account from a bank account or credit card and withdraw money to your bank account. It is the most common way to pay on eBay, as well as being widely used on the rest of the Internet.

Opening a PayPal account.

It is very easy to get a PayPal account. Simply go to www.paypal.com and click on the ‘Sign Up’ link. As a buyer, you need to get a personal account – you can always upgrade later if you decide to start selling.

Then all you need to do is enter your address, phone number, and email address, and create a password and two secret questions. An email confirmation will be sent to you and voila!

If you want to deposit money into the account now, you need to register a credit or debit card or your bank details, and if you want to withdraw money, you need to register your bank details. However, there is no need to do anything of the sort yet.

Paying with PayPal.

Paying with PayPal is very simple. When you win an auction and click “Pay Now”, you will be given a list of payment methods that the seller accepts.

You should always check what the seller accepts before bidding as there are still some sellers who do not accept PayPal. If the seller accepts PayPal, it will already be chosen for you on the checkout page.

Now just click ‘Next’, enter your PayPal username and password and confirm the amount you wish to pay.

The first time you pay with PayPal, you’ll need to enter your card or bank account details, but then it’ll remember them for you.

Become verified.

You may have noticed that there is a limit to the amount of money you can send or withdraw with PayPal before you need to have it verified. Verification has two steps.

First, PayPal deposits some very small amounts of money into your bank account and you need to tell them how much they deposited. Second, they must call you on the phone to confirm your address and phone number.

Once you’ve done that, all limits on your account will be removed. Please log in to paypal.com and click ‘Get Verified’ for more information.

While you’ve been paying for your items, you may not have realized that eBay occasionally offers discount coupons. But where do you get them? The following email tells you everything.

How to get eBay coupons.

You have to be very lucky to be one of the select few who receive an eBay coupon by email. These coupons are like cash that you can use for anything you buy on eBay; the only conditions are that you pay with PayPal and that you are using eBay in the US, Canada or UK.

There are two ways to get eBay coupons.

Wait for that email.

Of course, if you just wait, you’ll be waiting a long time. You have to do something to seem like the kind of person eBay would want to tempt with a coupon.

If you open an account, buy a few mid-value things, and then suddenly stop, chances are you’re in for some sort of special offer, but still, not always.

Fetch.

The best way, of course, is to look for coupons on the web.

This is quite hit or miss as eBay doesn’t always have a sale, but when there is a valid code you can guarantee it will be everywhere within a few hours.

Just type ‘ebay coupon codes’ into your favorite search engine, but be prepared to search for garbage. You may find that you have better luck using a more obscure search engine, where people haven’t bothered to mess with the results.

If browsing the search engines is too much for you, just keep an eye out for the community forums you frequent, where someone might post one.

You probably have a better chance if you make some friends on eBay’s own forums at http://hub.ebay.com/community. It can also be fun and educational to chat with the regulars there, so you really have nothing to lose.

How are coupons redeemed?

A coupon is basically a code, and some are quite long. All you need to do is pay with PayPal as usual for the item you want to use the coupon for. after choosing

PayPal as your payment method, you’ll see a header that says “Ebay Anything Coupons, Gift Certificates, and Points.”

Type coupon code here – they can be long, so copy and paste to make sure you get it right. Just click ‘Redeem’ and you’re good to go.

By the way, don’t worry about getting sellers in trouble by doing this – they have no way of knowing you used a coupon, since eBay just pays them for the item as usual.

Coupons are good for sellers as they bring more buyers to eBay, which means they get more deals on their auctions. After all, why would they object to getting more money without you having to pay for it?

Since you’re interested in making your eBay purchases more affordable, you may want to know that you can now buy eBay items on credit. Our next email will tell you all the details of eBay’s new ‘Buyer Credit’ program.

Introducing eBay’s new “Buyer Credit” program.

In an effort to compete with more ‘traditional’ stores, eBay has started offering financing deals through PayPal for expensive items.

This means that if the seller decides to offer it, they can now spread the cost of an item into affordable monthly payments.

This is good for buyers, good for sellers, and good for eBay. Shoppers can get the kind of credit deals they’re used to in stores.

Sellers can make their items more attractive to buyers who may not have all the money at the time, but eBay still pays sellers up front, they don’t have to wait to get paid every month or anything for the style. Instead, buyers make their monthly payments to PayPal’s credit provider.

The APR of the Credit Buyer program is currently 12.9%. You can pay $999 or more in 12 months, or $1,999 or more in 24 months. There are also interest-free options for purchases of $199 or more over 3, 6 or 12 months.

The reason some of these credit offers sound better than others is that it’s up to the seller to decide how good the credit offer should be and pay PayPal more to offer it.

To give your buyer the best promotion, for example, no interest for twelve months, the seller must pay 3.75% of the cost of the item to PayPal.

Basically, this means sellers pay less when buyers pay interest and sellers pay the interest cost on interest-free offers. PayPal does your interest either way, buyers are happy to get credit, and sellers are happy to sell more.

Can I get this credit?

On items over $199, buyer credit is now automatically offered only to buyers in the US.

Just click the link when you buy something over $199 and you’ll be taken through the application process, which includes a 30-second check on your credit history. Then you just go through the checkout process as normal and get your item before you pay a dime.

Why is eBay offering this?

eBay says it wants to “level the playing field” to allow eBay businesses to compete with big chain stores, and also wants to promote PayPal as a payment method.

Relatively few buyers can afford the most expensive items on eBay at one time, so the introduction of buyer credit seems likely to significantly increase prices and sales at the higher end of the market.

It’s worth noting that you can use Buyer Credit anywhere PayPal is accepted, not just on eBay. PayPal says it’s “like a credit card, minus the card!” You don’t get a card number; you can pay with credit only with your email address and password.

The only thing left to do now, then, is to find the best deal on that really special item, the expensive item you’ve been waiting for a long time but could never afford. But how can you be sure you’re getting the best price? Try our tips and tricks for searching eBay in the next email.
