- Find an item.Enter keywords into the Search box located at the top of any eBay page. You can also browse through our categories.
- Learn about the item you found.When you find an item, read the item description carefully. If you have any questions that aren't answered in the item's description, you can ask the seller about the item by clicking the "Ask seller a question" link.Note: For listing of sellers enrolled in our PowerShip program, you can see the estimated time when the item will be delivered to you.
- Review the seller's Feedback.View the seller’s business reputation on eBay by looking at his or her Feedback Score. You can also read the comments left by the seller's previous buyers to be sure that this is a seller you feel you can trust.
- Bid or Buy It Now.Some items are sold in auction-style listings that require you to place a bid, while others use the Buy It Now option, allowing you to buy the item instantly. Buy It Now can be used alone or along with an auction-style listing. You can use your cart to combine multiple Buy It Now purchases. Check the item page to see what purchase options are available to you. Once you've found and reviewed the item you want, you can place a bid or purchase the item instantly using Buy It Now.
- Pay for the item.
- For auction-style listings: After you've won or purchased an auction-style item, you will need to send the payment to the seller and send the payment details to the seller. If required, you can communicate with the seller to organise shipping and payment. Check the seller's listing or email them to find out what the preferred payment method is and where you should send your payment. You can email your seller at any time by clicking the "Ask seller a question" link from the listing page. Your seller will also send you an email with information on how to pay and where you should send payment.
- For Buy It Now items: When you decide to buy a Buy It Now item, choose a shipping method and a payment method offered by the seller. The item is yours as soon as you complete the payment process. If you paid using PaisaPay, the seller receives the payment instantly and can prepare to ship the item. If you used an offline method of payment (cheques, demand drafts, etc), the seller will ship the item as soon as the payment is realised. If you’ve received an eBay gift voucher, you can redeem it while paying with PaisaPay to enjoy special discounts and offers.
- Confirm whether you received the item or not: After the seller has delivered the item to you, be sure to confirm whether you received the item or not in your PaisaPay Account. This is important to ensure that the transaction is completed successfully. If you do not confirm whether the item is delivered or not, it is considered to be a successful transaction, and you will not be able to claim a refund for the entire payment amount through PaisaPay.

BUYERS TIPS :
Do your research
 | Learn all you can about the item. Read the item description carefully. Make sure you understand details about shipping and payment options. Don't make assumptions about details that aren't included in the description. |
| Find answers to your questions. If you have any questions or are unsure about the listing, click the Ask a question link in the listing. Common questions include "Do you accept returns?" and "How will you ship the item?" If you've already bid on an item and are having a problem communicating with a seller through email, you can request the seller's contact information. |
| Check the seller's Feedback. From the listing, click the number in parentheses next to the seller's user ID. You'll see what other buyers have to say about doing business with the seller. |
| Research the item's value. Look at similar completed listings bysearching completed listings. You can also visit online stores that sell similar items to help determine what the item is worth. |
| Make sure the item is legal and allowed. If you have any doubts as to whether the item you're interested in is allowed, check our policies onprohibited and restricted items. |
Consider your buying options
| Determine the maximum amount that you're willing to pay for the item. Take into consideration what the item is worth to you, how difficult it will be for you to find another one, and how soon you need it. Then determine the highest price that you're willing to pay. |
| Understand what entering a maximum bid means. Our automatic bidding system means you can enter your maximum bid once and the system will automatically increase your bid only as much as is needed for you to stay the highest bidder without going over your maximum bid. |
| Make every bid a serious one. Don't bid on multiple similar items from different sellers if you only want one. You could be the winning bidder in more than one auction, and you'd be obligated to purchase any items you won. |
| Consider Buy It Now. Does the listing you're interested in have a Buy It Now option? If so, consider whether you are willing to pay the Buy It Now price in order to guarantee that you get the item without having to wait for an auction to end. |
| Consider Best Offer. If the seller offers the Best Offer feature, come up with a price that you believe would be the best price for both you and the seller and make an offer for that amount. In some categories, you and the seller can counteroffer each other until you come to a price you both agree on. |
Plan ahead
| Ensure your contact information and email address is up-to-date.Check your personal information to make sure it is correct. Also, check that any spam blocking software that you have installed does not prevent a seller from communicating with you. |
| Start early if you plan to buy with Best Offer. The way to win with Best Offer is to start early in the listing so you can allow for time for the seller to respond. |
| Plan for alternate computer access. If you have computer or connection problems, or need to be away from your computer, you can monitor your bids or other account activity by signing in to My eBay from any computer with Internet access |
