A Few Hints to Lend a Hand with Coping with Bidding on eBay:

1) Exclude words in your search: Put a minus, and then put any words in brackets that you don't want to appear in your search results. For example: "Pulp Fiction" -(poster,photo) will find items related to Pulp Fiction but not posters or photos.

2) Try browsing the eBay Stores. eBay Stores are a way for sellers to offer buyers both auction and fixed-price merchandise through an online storefront. You can get to the Stores either from the main eBay home page, or from the category display pages, where you will see a link.

3) Sellers won't generally be reluctant to sell to buyers without much of a reputation, simply because it is the buyer who takes most of the risk in a transaction.

4) Bidding is when you say how much you will pay for an item in an auction. Bidding on eBay, however, doesn't work in exactly the same way as a normal auction, at least in theory. On eBay, you tell the site what the maximum you are willing to pay for each item is, and then eBay places the bids on your behalf. That means you could say you were willing to pay up to 0 for something and only have to pay , if that was the highest maximum bid anyone else placed.

5) A good strategy is to always buy a few things at once from the same buyer, as they will almost always offer you a discount on the postage.
