BUYING ON EBAY - ADVICE -

many people are caught out on ebay and end up paying more than they have to.

 

So here are some tips to help you pay less on ebay-

 

  • Always bid in the last few seconds, this cancels out the chance of another bidder increasing his/her maximum bid and outbidding you.

  • If a product is coming out in the next week or so (e.g an iPhone), don't pay a stupid price just to get it one week before everyone else, just wait and save yourself a bit of money.

  • If there are more than one of the product you want listed on ebay and the listing you are bidding on surpasses your prefferred bid just stop bidding and bid on another listing of the same item. You will probably pay less.

  • If you are outbid at last minute, don't panic and think about whether to enter a higher bid as you might end up getting carried away with getting your bid in before the listing ends and paying more than you wanted to.

  • Always think of the price including postage, as when you add the item price and the postage up it is more than you may think.          

 

Good Luck!!!
