Most sellers expect the buyer to cover the costs of delivery so take this into account when deciding to buy the item. Also ensure you are able to make payment in a way acceptable to the seller. If you want to ask a question or find out more about the item don't be afraid to email the seller who will most probably be happy to help: simply click the "Ask Seller a Question" link.

Check out the seller's eBay reputation by looking at his or her feedback record: a seller's feedback rating is the number in brackets by their User ID. You can read comments left by other members who have already dealt with the seller and decide for yourself whether or not this seller is trustworthy. The higher the number, the more positive comments the seller has received. To find out more about feedback, click here.

Two ways to buy
Bidding: There are two ways to buy on eBay UK. The first is the famous eBay auction format where you bid as at a traditional auction house. eBay operates a "proxy bidding" system. All you have to do is enter the maximum amount you are prepared to pay for an item, and eBay does the bidding for you. Remember that all bids are binding, so you must only bid if you are serious about purchasing the item. Non-Paying Bidders will earn negative feedback and can be suspended by eBay.

Carefully review the item and how much you're prepared to pay for it. Click on 'Place Bid' to finalise your bid. You'll see immediately whether or not you are the current high bidder.
Two ways to buy Buy it Now: when you see this logo you can use eBay new buying format. The new format means that you need not wait for days until the auction ends but rather can "Buy it Now" at a price specified by the seller. The Buy it Now function can be found on auctions and on its own on pure "Buy it Now" Items. You can find out more by clicking here.

You can get hold of the seller's email address from the Item Description Page or from the email eBay send you after the sale has ended. You are under contract to pay him or her the amount of your bid, and the postage expenses outlined in the Item Description Page. Once you have paid, the seller is then under contract to send you the item as described.
