How does eBay's transactions take place?

First, the buyer either wins the auction by outbidding others or using the buy-it-now feature. The buyer then needs to send the payment via PayPal or Credit Card. Then, the seller will ship the item. Once the item is recieved, either the buyer or seller can leave feedback about the product.

How do you check when your getting your item in eBay?

The only way that you can track an item you bought on eBay is if the seller provides you with an online tracking number, which is a number allotted by the carrier, for your particular package. Not all packages have a tracking number so not all parcels can be tracked and the only way to find out is to ask the seller of your item. One you have a tracking number, go to the carrier's website and enter the number. You will then be given such information as is available.

Does eBay accept cash payments?

There is no eBay procedure for paying by cash - you can't go to an eBay office and make a payment to the eBay cashier - but nothing prevents you, if you so desire, from getting the address of the person who posted an ad on eBay and then going to visit that person and offering them cash for the item that they are seeking to sell. This could be very efficient, provided that you happen to live near this person. If you live thousands of miles away, it's probably not worth the trouble of going to see him or her in person.

Can a seller on eBay decide not to sell the item after the bidding is over?

How to win the bid on eBay?

All you have to do is bid higher than the other person so if they have placed a bid on 99 cents then you place a bid for $1.25. But if I were you place bids at last minute before auction ends so you will win! Caution: Winning takes some experience. You might not win the first or second time you bid on an auction. Here's another strategy, say the item you are interested in is $9.99, think about how much you are willing to pay for it, okay, we'll say $15.00, put in the amount of $15.00 for your highest bid (proxy bid). Don't put it in until 30 seconds or one minute before auction is due to end. Make sure your clock is correct and use eBay time at the bottom of the page to sinc your clock.

How big of a rip off are Circuit City rebates?

LOL, good question. How adept are you at following through with mailing them in as per the instructions?

I used to work for C.C. and I don't recall anyone complaining that the rebates are bogus. Seems that most of the time, the customer failed to send them in or do so by the required date.

If someone offers a rebate and you follow the instructions, it should be completed. Just be sure to read the fine print.
