Successful eBay Buying - Video Tip

eBay has been around for more than 10 years. However, many computer users still find eBay either dangerous or hard to figure out. In this week's tip, I set forth some simple steps to help make your eBay experience, a good experience.

In the video, I demonstrate my four steps to finding a reputable eBay buyer:

  1. Never consider an auction that has exorbitant shipping costs
  2. Study the eBay sellers profile. Positive feedback percentage (I recommend only 98% and higher), total number of feedbacks, and read actual member feedbacks
  3. Carefully read the auction description and study the item photos.
  4. If you have any questions or would like more information, ask the seller BEFORE bidding.

I also point out, in the video, that none of these rules work unless we all leave honest feedback after the completion of any auction you complete...good or bad. I didn't mention in the video that you should always know your product and not get caught up in the excitement of auction bidding and over-bid your position.

Take a look at the video below...it will save you a lot of grief when buying on eBay, and probably make you a more frequent eBay buyer!
