What benefits are there for me if I register?

Should I register now or see if I like it first?

Register at eBay auctions today! Here's why:  

You can search the auctions without joining but my advice is to register now and start bidding straight away. There's every chance that you'll see a bargain that you want to bid on and the auction closes in 1 minute. And while has the biggest range of items in the world for sale the auctions change and what you see today may not come up again for months (I've learnt this the hard way with some Disney stuff I was after).

So Join eBay auctions ASAP and start bidding as soon as you can and that way you won't miss out!.

  • Car parts to computer software

Ebay tips 

Searching Smarter
Not enough results found at cheap enough price:
  1. Try being a little less specific in your search keywords
  2. Try turning on the 'Search Description' option
  3. Think of rephrasing your keywords
  4. Check you are spelling your keywords correctly
  5. Try clicking through category menus from the home age instead of searching.

Try different search words
There are many words to describe any item. Imagine which words a seller might use to describe the item you're looking for. Try several different options and combinations -- but use just two or three words at a time to be sure you get a variety of results.

Use specific words instead of general ones
For example, a search for Beatles poster will return fewer, more-targeted listings than a search for Beatles.

For a closer match, specify a date, colour, or brand
For example, to find a particular Barbie item, don't just type Barbie in the search box. If you're looking for a Barbie dress made in the 1960s, enter: Barbie dress 196*. If you want only red dresses, type: Barbie red dress. Remember: be specific and narrowly define your search!

Search titles and descriptions to get more matches
Search always looks for your keywords in the title of the items for sale. Click on search titles and descriptions under the search box to also search item descriptions. You'll get many more results.

Add or remove the letter "s" for more results
For example, you'll get two different lists of items when you search for diamond rings and diamond ring. Try your search with and without the final "s".

Be careful when using and, or, and the
eBay's search engine searches for and, or, and the just like it would any other word. Use and, or, and the only if you're searching for items containing these words, such as Diana Ross and the Supremes or Truth or Dare.

Don't use extra punctuation
Only use punctuation in your search if you expect it to be in the item title or description for which you're searching. Examples include t-shirt, N-Sync and Dr. Watson.

Consider browsing
If you're not searching for something specific, try browsing through the category listing pages for surprising discoveries.

 

Too many results found:
  1. Try adding specific detail to the item you are after such as; model numbers, Serial numbers, Dates, Colours, Sizes, Manufactures. etc
  2. Try searching without using the 'search description' option selected.
  3. Try grouping phrases that should only appear together in quotations
