2. On September, 3, 1995,
Pierre Morad Omidyar,
changed the world of
shopping forever.
3. Make an eBay
account
• Join the millions of people who are
already a part of the eBay family.
4. No matter what you are looking to buy, you can find it
on the third most visited website in the cyber
universe.
www.ebay.com
• From the latest cell • To the first one ever
phone made.
5. How eBay works
• A seller puts an item up for bid.
• The seller sets a time frame.
• You bid an amount you are willing
to pay, if you get outbid, you can bid
a higher amount.
• You wait until the time frame ends
and see if you have won.
6. Uh oh! Don’t forget to watch
out for the eBay sniper.
They lay in waiting to enter a higher bid at the
last second so you’ll lose your item.
7. It’s so easy
• There are also Buy It Now options,
so you don’t have to go through the
bidding process.
9. Buyer • Be protected by the Shield.
Protection
Are there hazards to
buying on eBay? Of
course there are.
Just like buying at a
retail shop, you can
always get burned.
But eBay has a buyer
protection program
where your purchase
is covered if you buy
something that is not
as listed.
10. PayPal or Credit Card
• If you buy or sell
on eBay all the
time, then I would
recommend a
PayPal account.
• If not you can
always just use
your credit card.
11. Leaving
Feedback
Always leave feedback
after you receive an item.
A negative or neutral
feedback can adversely
affect a seller’s ability to
sell on eBay.
When leaving
feedback, buyers are
asked to rate the seller
in each of these
categories with a score
of one to five stars, with
five being the highest
rating and one the
lowest.
12. No Stress,
No Mess
It’s an easy, fast
and free way to
shop from home
without the stress
of shopping malls
and long lines.
You can also
access eBay from
your mobile
device. It makes it
a simple way to
shop.
