Pointers to Steer You with Buying Merchandise 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) Build relationships: If a seller sells a lot of a certain kind of thing you like, buy from them a few more times.

3) You should take up any issues with the seller - most will be responsive, as they do not want to have their reputation damaged when an upset buyer leaves negative feedback for all their future buyers to see.

4) Learning the system and examining a seller's feedback history is a buyer's best protection.

5) 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".

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. The company's current business strategy includes increasing revenue by increasing international trade within the eBay system.

Looking Back at eBay History:

eBay Express UK was launched to eBay members in mid October 2006, and differs from the US version by only offering brand new items from pre-vetted business sellers.
