I once bought True Religion jeans on eBay that were supposed to be the stretch material and actually turned out to be rigid. After receiving them, I told the seller about this, and she accused ME of lying! And this was a girl with excellent feedback. It was such an ordeal, that these days I ALWAYS ask for a close-up photo of the tag on the garment to see what it's actually made of and what size it actually is. it's worth it if you're spending more than $100!

You never know who is on the other side of the auction unfortunately. I've been on ebay for almost 10 years now and it's still sometimes frustrating listing items that people don't pay you for or bidding on something winning and not hearing from the seller for days! those things don't happen all the time though, hope everybody has good luck with bidding on ebay! good tips, everyone should always bid with caution!

I've found all manner of awesome designer clothes, shoes, and handbags for prices that basically amounted to robbery! My favorite of all time has to be an Armani dress I got for just $10, and is now my go-to little black dress. I've never bought anything from a seller in China or Korea -- a lot had bad feedback and/or their posts weren't in the best English. But some have good feedback, and I've seen ridiculously cute clothes for sale. Has anyone bought from overseas sellers before? Ebay has been excellent to me.

You can use a site like ebuyersedge.com (typojoe.com, etc) to search ebay for common misspellings of keywords you enter. Most interested buyers will never see these misspelled listings, reducing the competition and most likely ending price. Ebuyersedge gives you the option of saving your favorite searches, then sending you an email when an item is listed matching one your saved searches. Some people claim to make money by buying these items and then relisting them on ebay for a profit. I'm not sure about that, but it's at least worth a try to see if you can get yourself a deal. This works best with 'Buy It Now's, but is also effective with auctions. As far as ebay and misspellings go, as a buyer, you can possibly use them to your advantage to get some good deals.

I would say always pay through paypal. They have an excellent claims service. If the item doesn't arrive and you've paid through paypal, the seller has to provide proof of postage. If the seller doesn't reply or provide proof, you get your money back. So simple, and paypal is so easy to use! A brilliant post. I would say always pay through paypal.
