Advice to Help You with Buying on eBay:

1) If you find something you haven't heard of, and the description calls it 'rare', don't assume that it actually is.

2) Sellers of inexpensive items may benefit from inflating the shipping cost while lowering the starting price for their auctions, because some buyers overlook the shipping cost when calculating the amount they are willing to spend.

3) The major fraud prevention mechanism for eBay users is its feedback system.

4) Wildcard searches: You can put an asterisk (*) into a search phrase when you want to say 'anything can go here'. For example, if you wanted to search for a 1950s car, you could search for 'car 195*'. 195* will show results from any year in the 1950s. In this order: If you put words in quotes ("") then the only results shown will be ones that have all of the words between the quote marks. For example, searching for "Lord of the Rings" won't give you any results that say, for example "Lord Robert Rings".

5) An eBay account (whether seller, buyer or both) may be suspended if there are too many complaints against the account holder.

Over the years, eBay has introduced all sorts of different auction types, in an effort to give people more options when they buy and sell their things on eBay.
