Helpful Advice to Lend You Hand with Averting Issues on eBay:

1) Paying by cheques and money orders: This is payment the old-fashioned way, and will lead to a long wait to your item. You need to post the cheque or money order, then the seller has to take it to the bank and get it cleared, and only then do they send the item. The only reason to use this method is if either you or the seller distrusts electronic payment methods. If you're willing to go to the trouble with these sellers, though, you might get an item very cheaply, as most buyers just can't be bothered. When you pay by cheque or money order, make sure to print the eBay order confirmation page (you will receive it via email) and put it in the envelope with your payment. Underline or circle essential information like your mailing address and the item number. Finally, bear in mind to have patience: keep in contact with the seller, as it really can take several months before everything comes together and your item shows up.

2) You might find that there are times when you should leave the Buy it Now button as a last resort: it can be a useful way of ending last-minute contests with a decisive 'this is mine' gesture.

3) Ensure that you read the item description very carefully. There might be information in there that could cost you a lot of money if you ignored it. Ignorance will not absolve you of your responsibilities, unfortunately.

4) When you have problems with a transaction, you should take it up with the seller - most will be responsive, as do not want to have their reputation damaged when an upset buyer leaves negative feedback for all their future buyers to see.

5) If the item you are viewing has unclear pictures, email the seller and ask them for better pictures.
