EBay is one of the largest trading platforms on the Internet. On it you can buy a lot of all useful.

However, making a purchase over the Internet can be a little more difficult than in the usual form, especially if you are not particularly friends with technology. Plus, you need to take into account such aspects as payment by bank transfer, delivery, communication with the seller.

Here we will try to provide the most basic information that will help you not get lost in the three pines, buying goods on eBay.com .

There are two of them on eBay:

• auction. However, this is all, as in a regular auction: the seller sets the initial, most often small price for his goods, and those who want to buy the goods raise rates until the thing “goes under the hammer”;
• regular purchase. It's still easier. You just click buy now and immediately become the new owner of the item.

1. The first thing you need to shop is an eBay account. It is not difficult to create it, just click "register" in the top menu of the site and follow the instructions. Do not forget that you will need email.
2. Next, you actually need to find the product you are interested in. You still do not know what to buy? You can just search for something interesting in the category you need. EBay is the largest online auction, which means you will surely find something useful for yourself.
3. If the product you have chosen is being sold in auction format, you just have to bid and wait for no one to bid big. With a simple purchase option, you simply click “Buy it now!”.
4. Now you need to place an order. Here you will need to fill in a few fields. With the delivery of your goods to Russia, the mail parcel service Parcel will help you.

5. The deal is almost complete. It remains to choose a payment method. How you can pay for the goods depends on the seller. Do not be surprised if the seller from America does not accept your Sberbank plastic card. The most popular payment method on eBay is PayPal.
6. Now it remains only to wait until the order comes to you. The seller will contact you and inform the tracking number of the orders so that it is not lost. Also, the parcel can be tracked on the site.
7. If everything went well, do not forget to leave a positive review about the seller! So eBay makes it easier for users to find bona fide buyers.

EBay positions itself as an honest trading platform, with maximum openness to users. But alas, even here you can meet a scammer.

How not to fall for someone's trick?

• Buy from trusted users. On eBay, specifically for this there is a rating system and reviews.
• Carefully read all the details of the purchase.
• Do not give anyone all the details of your card, your passwords. The administration of the service never requests such information.

Fortunately, PayPal has a support service that will help you get your money back if you come across an unscrupulous seller. However, there are craftsmen who manage to outsmart even the legal subtleties of the payment system. Therefore, the security of your money depends on you.

Even if you are limited to ordinary shops, and Internet shopping is alien to you, it’s still worthwhile to buy something on eBay at least once, at least for the sake of interest, at least for the sake of touching the internet trading giant.
