However, making a purchase through the Internet can be a little more difficult than in the usual form, especially if you are not particularly friendly with technology. Plus it is necessary to consider such aspects as payment by bank transfer, delivery, communication with the seller.

Here we will try to give the most basic information that will help you not get lost in the three pines, buying goods on eBay.com.

Basic ways of buying

There are two on eBay:

• auction. However, everything here is the same as in the usual auction: the seller exposes the initial, most often a small price for his goods, and those who wish to purchase the goods raise the rates until the thing "leaves under the hammer";
• Usual buy. It's still simpler here. You just press "buy now" and immediately become the new possessor of the thing.

The order of purchase

1. The first thing you need to make purchases is an account on eBay. Create it is easy, just click on "register" in the top menu of the site and follow the instructions. Do not forget that you will need an email.
2. Next, you, in fact, need to find the product you are interested in. Still do not know what to buy? You can just search for something interesting in the category you need. EBay is the largest online auction, which means you will probably find something useful for yourself.
3. If the goods you have chosen are sold in the auction format, then you only have to make a bet and wait that no one will offer a great price. With a simple purchase option, you simply click "Buy it now!".
4. Now you need to place an order. Here you need to fill in several fields. With the delivery of your goods to Russia, Postal Internet service of Parcel Mail will help you.

5. The deal is almost done. It remains to choose a payment method. How you can pay for the goods depends on the seller. Do not be surprised if the seller from America does not accept your Sberbank plastic card. The most popular method of payment on eBay is the system of cashless PayPal.
6. Now it remains only to wait until the order comes to you. The seller will contact you and inform the tracking number of the order, so that it will not be lost. You can also track the parcel on the site.
7. If everything went well, do not forget to leave a positive review about the seller! So eBay helps users find it easier to find bona fide buyers.

Beware of scammers!

EBay positions itself as an honest trading platform, with the maximum openness of users. But alas, even here you can meet a fraudster.

How not to fall for someone's trick?

• Buy from trusted users. On eBay, for this purpose, there is a rating system and reviews.
• Carefully study all the details of the purchase.
• Do not transfer to anyone all the details of your card, your passwords. The service administration never requests such information.

Fortunately, PayPal has a support service that will help you get your money back in case you are caught on an unscrupulous retailer. However, there are craftsmen who manage to outwit even the legal subtleties of the payment system. Therefore, the security of your money depends only on you.

Buy on eBay

Even if you limit yourself to regular shops and Internet shopping is alien to you, you should at least once buy something on eBay, at least for the sake of interest, at least for the sake of at least a tiny bit to touch the giant of Internet commerce.
