Shopping on Ebay can be a frustrating task, especially when you have no idea where or how to start! After years of Ebay shopping experience, I have a few simple tips on how to shop on Ebay!
1. Be Descriptive
Refine your Ebay search by being as descriptive as possible. Using descriptive terms can lead you to products that closely align to what you are looking to purchase. For instance, if you are looking for large block sunglasses, try searching for square frame sunglasses instead. Not only will this search help broaden your product results, but you will also find sellers that specifically sell products that are either trendy, vintage or useful miscellaneous goods.

2. Follow, follow, follow
If you find a seller you love, follow them! Anytime that seller updates their storefront with new products, you will be be notified. This is essential for learning how to shop on Ebay with ease!
3. Trend Lookout
Not only can you follow sellers, but you are also able to follow your searches. Whether your product search has been successful or a dead end, following these searches can keep you up-to-date with sellers who have the items you need and want!

4. Shop Ebay Categories
If you want the search process to be easier or to help train your Ebay search skills, simply click “Shop by Category.” This option breaks down available products in grouped departments like collectibles & art to fashion. This shopping process will be fast, easy and convenient … thank me later!

5. WATCH IT
Ebay has been so successful due to impulse buyers (like myself)! In order to ensure that you are really purchasing what you want, add the items you are eyeing to your Watch List. Not only will you be able to scope out other comparable items, but it will calm that impulse to hit BUY IT NOW!
