Helpful eBay buying tips for anyone new to
eBay.
Getting Started:
1) Create a Google email account so
all your auctions information will be sent to one place - you can
use your business email but it is better to have one dedicated email
address. Setup email folders once your account setup is
complete. You can label them eBay purchases, or eBay sales.
It will make it much easier to keep track of completed auctions.
Gmail
2) Create a user account on eBay -
will require a cc for selling fees incurred. You will need to
create an eBay user ID. This ID is your name for all you're
bidding and selling. A good example is "63Carparts".
Have fun and be creative with your user ID. eBay
3) Create a PayPal account - this is
the easiest way to pay for auctions that offer PayPal as a method of
payment taken. PayPal will also safeguard you on some
purchases and will give you up to 45 days to file a claim in case
your item is lost in shipment, or is not what was described once you
get it. Since you have to use your checking account and a
backup cc for PayPal accounts - you can easily transfer funds back
and forth if needed. Be aware that you will need a few days to
get this started. If you have items to sell, you can easily
put PayPal as a method of payment taken. This cuts cost of
waiting for payment, and you do not have to pay additional fees to
take Credit Cards. This is also the preferred payment of eBay.
PayPal
4) Make sure your passwords are
different for the above accounts (email, eBay, and Paypal) - just in
case you get hacked. Now you are ready to start selling or
buying on eBay.
