Guys, You are done with cleaning up the messes at home! You know the basics of ebay now, right? If you have not got anything to list then you have to buy stuffs. It doesn’t mean you have to buy everything from ebay. You can look for cheap deals everywhere. But whatever you are buying always be very careful that those are in good condition that you can sell and that you are buying at least at a concession of 20 % than its enlisted price on ebay.

Ebay Buyer!

So, whatever you are buying you should know the regular price of that and off course all the details of it. A question can be raised, why we have to buy the stuffs which are in good condition when there are stuffs on ebay listed as not working and are very cheap. It’s because you have to be very tactical to sell stuffs which are not working and you can’t really expect of great deal of profit from those. As an amature you should not deal with those kinda stuffs really.

Alright, Now to buy from ebay you have to be very watchful and selective. Firstly you should look for new items with low prices. Secondly you should look for the items which are used but still in good condition. One important thing, don’t buy anything that is in good condition but old. I bought a xbox 360 at a very low price but later found out it was a 2008 version. So, I had a hard time selling that.

There is another type of item and that is NEW(OTHER). Watch out for those. These are the good ones. They are new, may be used for a little while but they are listed at less price. Now, you should always look for the items which are going to be sold in 2 hours. You can get those items filtered by clicking ‘CHOOSE MORE’ in the ‘BUYING FORMATS ‘ tab. A new window will show up. On the lower right corner there is a tab called ‘LISTING’. You can do the filtering by using that.

Okay, now a killer secret. You should always try buying stuffs which are going to be closed between 2 am to 4 am London time. I always do it. In this time period there are always less number of bids done on items. Try it. I can guarantee you it will work.

Last tricks of buying but off course not the list, Always try doing the maximum bid $20 higher than your bidding. Be sensible that you are not gonna be a looser by doing so. But it seriously does make an impression on other buyers.

So, that’s how you buy stuffs on ebay. Be very careful on payments. Firstly ask for the invoice from the seller and when you get that, go through the invoice thoroughly then pay. Always keep contact with the seller until you get your item.

If you are giving $1000 as your capital you should at least buy 5 items with that. Because if you use all your money for buying one stuff and got a profit of around $100 that doesn’t worth it you know.Tired of being a buyer? Want to be a seller? Please hold on a little. In the next post you are surely gonna be the seller and gonna kick off the business!
