ebay-ing

I've recently engaged doing online buying and selling. I've registered to http://www.ebay.ph/. Just follow the online registration and you can easily buy and sell new items and even your used items. You can practically sell anything under the sun.

At first, I was afraid to send money as payment to people I do not know. So, I tried buying small items first, and tried how it works. There are auctioned items and buy it now items. In auctioned items you have to bid first and if you're the winning bidder, ebay/seller sends you an invoice on how to pay for your purchased item, shipping instructions, and total amount due. There are other ways to pay for your item. Thru Paypal, Gcash or bank deposit depending on the rules that the seller posted. After payment has been received seller sends the item via local courier ex. AIR21, 2go, LBC, JRS etc.

At ebay, customer feedback response is important. It's your credibility as a seller or buyer. But sometimes you can not please everybody. Just make sure that when you post your item for auction or selling, accurate description is important. Like used item, new item, the condition of the item, has signs of wear, tear, etc.

And after the basic information and steps now you can start your online business as an ebayer.

Beware of those joybidders. These are the people who bid just for fun, or they bid just for the sake of it but do not intend to buy. This is a waste of time, and waste of selling opportunity for those serious buyers who were outbid because of these joybidders.
