eBay

"Ebay itself does not have a guarantee to purchases. This is up to the individual seller whether or not there is a guarantee. However, most wil ot reimburse you for the return shipping."

There are many products a person may purchase from eBay. For instance, individuals may purchase clothing, watches, and jewelry. Some people purchase novelty or speciality foods. Bidders may also buy electronics, computers, vehicles, cameras, and housewares. Once, someone on eBay even sold a Ghost in a Jar. The winning bidder never paid for it.

No, there are no trick, or hidden, fees to using eBay but you do need to know where to look to be certain of what you will be charged.

There is no charge whatsoever for using eBay as a buyer only.

As a seller you will incur insertion fees, upgrade fees and final value fees. There are also subscription services you can select to use, such as subscribing to an eBay Store, using Selling Manager Pro, etc, and you will be charged a recurring monthly fee for these.

If you accept payment through PayPal - and it is almost certain that you will have to do that - you also have to pay them a fee as well.

All sites have different fees, based on the local currency, and they are liable to change at any time so it is not possible to give a precise reply here on WikiAnswers. So you should go to the help section on the eBay site where you intend to create your listings and search for "fees" to find the most up to date information.

you are supposed to be over 18 for an eBay account. many of my friends have made them when they were under 18 and they had no problems. they just lied about their age while signing up. i don't think that it would be a problem at all unless you get into legal trouble somehow on ebay and they need a scan of your drivers license or something proving who you are then you'd be pretty screwed.

so basically if you are careful go for it!

Yes! PayPal makes it extremely easy to make purchases on Ebay - it's even linked to your bank account so you can make immediate transfers of money to purchase an item.

You are unable to withdraw a bid on ebay.

But there is an option after the bidding is over too contact the seller and explain your problem.

It could take as long as two weeks depending what service the seller uses.

Signing out means you're not actively logged into eBay on your own computer. Signing out does NOT remove your name and account from the site.

i usually takes from a few days to a week but it depends where it is coming from

If you are talking about Priority Flat rate shipping it should arrive in 2 to 3 days.

eBay doesn't ship at all.

Items you buy from eBay sellers are dispatched by the sellers themself and are shipped by the method the seller chooses. Some sellers will ship on weekends, some will not; you should be able to see more details about shipping on the item listing page that you purchased from.

No, you can pay by a variety of methods. You can mail a money order to the seller. Many sellers will accept a personal check (and usually hold the merchandise until the check clears). Many sellers accept PayPal (which requires that you have a PayPal account). Almost all sellers will give you a choice of how to pay.

But wouldn't you need to mail the monney or check

Yes there are many. As a example there is amazon.

If you are the seller with a Best Offer stated on your auction, it is up to you if you want to accept the offer or not. If you are the bidder, then the seller will contact you to advise you if your offer has been accepted, if the seller does not accept any offer and the auction runs out, he hasn't sold his item

I have done it many times before but i would not recommend it. there would be no proof of it being sent and some people wont take the cash or say they never got it etc.. but the times i have done it it has worked out fine. so if you dont care about if you lose money then you should try it

Yes, and I'll walk you through it since it took me a very, very long time. Ok first register your card with the information that you are using to buy with. Next. When you win the object, go and sign up for a paypal account, go to www.paypal.com and go to profile. And add the credit card that you are using. When you are done, press the send money button and click on eBay items. It will ask you if you want to check out on eBay in my opinion paypal is easier. I used it. Click on the "click here if you prefer paypal". It will then tell you to sign in, do so and it will show you what you need to pay for. It's very easy from there on.

that depends:- on where both YOU and the SELLER/SENDER are, or, in other words (AKA) how near each other you and the seller live.

If you are sending something from HongKong to Europe, if I'm right, it should take about a week.

There are many internet trading sites which you can find using your favourite search engine. Try searching for 'internet auction site' or 'internet trading site'.

All of the sites operate in slightly different ways. Some are auction based while some are more for trading. Some are more specialised and some offer a wide range of products. Some are world-wide while others are more local.

Before you buy or offer your own items for sale it is a good idea to investigate several sites to see which will be best for you.

well basically as it says it is, it is an "online marketplace". you can buy and sell your stuff on the website and pay for things you've bought using your credit card details, which you have to submit. you dont have to sell stuff to use it, you can just buy stuff if you want there are various pay methods including personal cheque, bankers draft and credit card you can sell practically anything - there are lots of different categories of products some things are new some things are used. doesnt matter each item has an individual postage price

All of your eBay fees will be charged to your seller account and you will be billed monthly, either on the 1st of the month or the 15th, depending on you billing cycle which, in turn, depends on the point during the month when you actually joined eBay.

The fee will then normally be taken automatically from your chosen funding source anything from 5 to 20 days after you receive your bill, depending on the method you use to settle the bill.

PayPal is an online account that allows you to receive and send money electronically with your bank account and credit cards. It is owned by eBay, and is used mainly for buying and selling through auctions. When using a personal PayPal account, simply link your PayPal account to your bank account (either savings or checking). When you make a purchase that allows you to pay with PayPal, enter your log-in information to sign into PayPal and then click "Buy." PayPal will automatically transfer the money out of your linked account and to the seller. You register your bank/checking account details (and can also register your credit/debit card details) with PayPal. This enables PayPal to take money from your bank or card and then transfer that money to anyone that you might buy something from.

In this way, the seller has no access to your financial details.

You can also use your PayPal account to transfer funds to a friend or family member.

It costs nothing to send/spend money using PayPal.

It costs nothing to receive money into a personal account, as long as the funds are sourced from a PayPal balance or a bank account. There is a charge if the payment is card-funded.

If you have a Premier or Business PayPal account, you are charged a fee on every payment that you receive.

Charges can be found on your local PayPal site by searching in the help section. Go to Paypal.com -- you will need a checking account -- and enter your information. PayPal will then deposit a small amount (under $1) into your checking account. Once you have verified with your bank the deposit from PayPal, then go to Paypal.com and there will be a message for you to confirm that you received the deposit. It's an online payment solution. The service allows anyone to pay in any way they prefer, including through credit cards, bank accounts, buyer credit or account balances, without sharing financial information. PayPal enables global e-commerce by making payments possible across different locations, currencies, and languages. Go to the main PayPal site, www.paypal.com, and click on the "sign up" button that you see on the homepage. On the following page, from the drop-down options select your country and then select the account type that you want to open. A "Personal" account is most suitable if you only want to use the account for buying, while a "Premier" account is best if you want to both buy and sell online. Next you need to enter your email address, choose a password and enter your name, address, and phone details, read the terms and then click on the "agree and create account" button. Once you've opened your account, you can add your bank account and/or credit card details.

Only if the individual seller accepts it.

Nothing Will actually happen. The buyer/seller may become annoyed but you can not be penalized or warned for not leaving feedback.

Feedback is made for the satisfactory of saying 'Thankyou' for purchasing/selling a specific item.
