Over the last couple of months I have revisit my love for eBay shopping. I use to love shopping on eBay; but I hated when I would miss out because I had been outbided. So after so many disappointments, I took my shopping to amazon. Then one day amazon did not have what I wanted. So this sent me running back to eBay and I have been hook ever since. I have purchase a variety of things from dresses, to faux leather legging, to jewelry, and purses. I even purchase some coffee that one of my classmates was selling for 30 bucks for like 12.
So here are my eBay shopping tips:
Type in exactly what you want. If it doesn’t give you the results you are looking for change the verbiage.
Always set price from low to high. It gives you the opportunity to see all that is being offer. Some vendors may have it for cheaper or some bids may be going for lower.
Watch it! On eBay you have the option of watching the item. The items are then listed under watch items. That way you can watch multiple of the same item and see which one is the cheapest, then act on it. I may have three of the same items on my watch list because I want to make sure that I am getting the best deal. EBay will email you 6 hours before your watch item is going to end. At that time you can set a reminder to go back and bid or you can bid at this time. I usually wait until the last 10 minutes before a make a bid on an item. I have also missed out on items because I forgot to go back.
I recently downloaded the eBay app and I think it notify you a little sooner. You can find a lot of great finds on eBay. Here are a couple of mines:
I hope this is helpful to you guys. Happy EBay shopping!!!

At first I was skeptical about eBay shopping but I love it! I've found all the items I was on a hunt for. Not necessarily at the best price though. My plan is to become more frugal with shopping online, specifically the eBay site, so thanks for the tips! I'll put multiple sellers on my watch list and compare prices going forward. I have crowned you the eBay Queen! Lol
OMG this is great! I always been extremely nervous to purchase items off ebay also. I always wondered what if it doesnt come? Or what it looks totally different than the picture? You and my co worker always find great items off ebay.
