true. i just started to look around ebay when there is money at my paypal. paypal does not trasnfer money from our local banks they only accept banks from the US so there is no way i can purchase something form ebay if i dont have anything on my paypal account. thanks for sharing, hope you buy something you really like at ebay. thanks a lot for the response as well

i never used to go to ebay but mow i have an account buti stil dont go there much sometimes i just go there to lok around for something i cant find in my area. then somtimes i go to look for something specific i havent had any bad luck with ebay either . i dont bid on stuff much because iam afraid that if i win i wont have the money to pay for it because iam on a fixed income. but there is one seller that ishelping me i bought someting of my house burned in november and i contactedthis person and told them the situation and they said if i could remeber what the item was that they could repace it for me for free. now i think that is very good business ship . i hope this answers your doubt a little bit have fun and be careful because everything ting on there is not what it seems.

I am an ebay shopper and I do it alot. I even sell things from time to time. I have only had one bad experiance but the seller was kicked off the site shortly after. My best advice would be pay close attention to their rating and feedback and always read the descriptions very carefully.

No..you only need to ask seller a question if you have one about the item.You can just buy it..or bid on it and watch to make sure your not out bid.In the case that you are..you have to decide what you are willing to pay for the item and not go over.If you don't get this one ,there will be another. After you win you will be prompted to do what you are required.

Every once in a while I shop at e-bay. When there is a book that I want that I don't want to pay full price for, or if there is a video or something that isn't usually available at stores, I will check e-bay for them. I usually don't go for the auctions though. I know if I were to win one, there is a good chance that I would spend less, but when I am purchasing something from e-bay, I want it as soon as possible, and with auctions there is also the chance that I will spend more than I wanted to as well, so I use the buy it now option instead.
The last thing I bought from e-bay was the complete collection of the show "The Letter People" for my kids this Christmas. This was the best thing I could have bought for my kids. I loved this show back when I was a kid, and my kids love it as well. It ended up being a present for me and the kids, as I get peace any time I pop in the DVDs. Thanks for making this discussion. I just realized that I need to go back and leave feedback for that seller! I forgot

it would be easy to buy on ebay philippines if you are in the phillipines. for you can pick up the product and check it very well before paying. if you dont like pick-ups you can text message them and get their bank accounts details and with this it is easy to track them if they are just fooling around. if your husband like to buy a car i would advice to buy a car when you are both here in the philippines. just a suggestion so you can test drive it. just a view
