How to shop successfully on eBay

            When you come to shopping online, eBay is your best option to shop. With over 60% of all online sellers of eBay working together with PayPal, it makes one of the most reliable online-shopping options in the U.S and the world. EBay also has more than millions items sold by many sellers in the world. Almost every product is cheaper than in any retail store. However, every online-shopping site has its weakness like scam from the sellers. Follow these steps to successfully shop on eBay: (1) register on eBay, (2) read the item description, (3) read the review, (4) ensure the warranty of the goods.

               First step, register on eBay. When you want to open eBay you will surely get a notification whether you want to register or not, of course you should be because this is your first step to be successful shopping on eBay. This makes it easy for you to buy and you can also interact with other members. You can also join to eBay community which can make it easier for you to ask about the items you are looking for, cause there are some items whose name can’t be found on a regular search or there is a difference of mention between you and the seller in term of item names. With registering you can also get security in buying because there are sometimes some online-shopping places that give guarantee to their members and eBay is one of them.  Register eBay can also make you Save your favorite searches and get notified whenever items you’re looking for appear. And most importantly the main conditions if you want to buy something on eBay you must registered first.

               Second step, read item description. If you want to buy something on eBay you should read item description because there are some sellers who sell items that don’t match what they display, so you should read the description when you buy the item you also get the same item you want. you can also pay attention to the physical characteristics of the items you will buy because you can’t see directly the items. With read the description you can also see the price of the item, of course you will not be happy when you pay the item and the price exceeds the money we have. With read the description too you can see what are the advantages and disadvantages of the item will you buy. And with reading the description of the item we can also find out how much extra charge for shipping, and you can see if the items are still available or not. With read item description you can also avoid the scam from sellers.

                Third step, read the review. Read the review from another buyer also make you success to shop on eBay, because there are some items that descriptions are good but when the item come to us it’s defective. Read the review also can make us see whether the goods are good or not from the view of the person who has bought it. You can also see if the seller is friendly or arrogant to the buyer, surely you will happy to shop when the seller is friendly to you right?,.  A good review also shows that the item you will buy is have good quality product  and also favored by other buyers.  A positive review also shows how the seller handles the goods they sell and to their buyers whether they are satisfied or not with the seller. And the seller gets many positive review is the most I recommend to you.

               Fourth step, ensure the warranty of the goods. When you shop online you have to make sure if the seller give the warranty of the goods they sell, because when the goods arrive and the goods are defective or not according to our wishes we can return to the seller again. warranty on the goods also prevent us from fraud , because with the warranty of the seller must be responsible for the goods they sell if a crime is found you may also report it to eBay and sellers can be liable to any applicable sanctions on eBay. Warranty also indicates that the goods sold are legal goods.  I’m more recommended to you looking for a seller who has warranty because of your warranty when the goods arrive and don’t  according  your wishes, besides being able to return the goods you can also receive your refund may even be charged for your losses. With the warranty you will get comfort in shopping.

               In conclusion, although there are many concerns when you shop on eBay such as fraud, goods that don’t according to your wishes, defective or damaged goods, and the other. in the way I've mentioned above and the explanation of why you should follow it You can conveniently shop online on eBay.
