Buying guide from EBAY site
The EBAY site is a store site that sells new and second-hand appliances in the form of tenders and single-rate products. Everything can be found on this site, from chicken milk to human life!
Many sellers from all over the world put their products for sale on Ebay, not all the products sold on Ebay are new and unused. Some products are sold as used, refurbished and open box, and new products are sold as new, new with box and new with/without tags.
Buying second-hand appliances from Ebay
If you don’t have enough funds to buy new equipment, buying from EBAY, especially second-hand equipment, can solve the problem of lack of funds. But buying second-hand appliances has its disadvantages. It may be that the second-hand equipment is repaired or that we do not have enough knowledge to determine whether the product is healthy. However, the first condition for buying second-hand appliances is confidence. If you are not sure about your purchase, do not rush and continue your research.
From time immemorial proverbs have reminded us of these reminders, for example, “there is no reason for cheapness”, however, shopping on eBay is worth a try due to the variety of products and incredible prices.
Know your product before searching
The high variety of goods always causes confusion. In many cases, too much variety takes us more time and we end up buying a product that we didn’t intend to buy at all. Therefore, it is better to specify exactly what you want before buying from eBay. Then get the necessary information about the product you want. The most important information you need is to identify the factors that affect the price of goods.
Suppose you want to buy a Samsung tablet. One of the advertisers has advertised an A7 model tablet, in the description section it is mentioned that the product is completely healthy and its price is, for example, 150 dollars. If you search for the price of the desired tablet on Samsung’s official website before buying from eBay, you will see that the price of this tablet is about $190. Is $40 worth buying second-hand?
If you haven’t determined exactly what tablet you need, you can see other products by searching the official websites of the manufacturers and then decide to buy. Let’s continue with the same example of buying a tablet.
Let’s say you have a Samsung tablet in mind, but you haven’t specified the exact model. In this case, write the features you need from a tablet on paper and identify the tablet you want according to the amount of budget and required features.
For example, does your tablet need a SIM card? Does it need to be able to touch 5 fingers at the same time? What quality camera do you want? As well as other features.
How to search on Ebay
Now that you know your product, you can do your search to buy from eBay. There are other sites similar to ebay that you can search to complete your information. But eBay is the largest and most well-known auction site in the world. In this section, we will briefly examine how to buy from eBay.
- Go to the homepage at www.ebay.com.
- In the first step, register and enter the site with your account.
- Search for your desired product directly or find it in the categories of the site.
- After searching for the desired product, a list of related products will be displayed to you. By clicking on any item, you will enter the product page. On this page, you can see the information related to the seller, the price of the product, its conditions, delivery and payment conditions.
It may be difficult to find the product you are looking for. You can sort the results by price from cheap to expensive. It’s good to know that if you want to narrow your search, just put the “-” sign in front of the search term on the ebay site. The site itself will ignore them and limit your search. For this, by adding the term “-parts” the results of parts sales and by the term “-AS-IS” the goods in need of repair will be ignored.
For example, we search TAB Samsung A7 and use the filter to limit our search to the 32-bit model.
Scroll down the page and check the “Sold Items” option. Write down the last 10 prices and divide by 10. This number is the average price of your product. The lower the price of the item you want, the closer you are to your ideal price.
Identification of the seller
The photos displayed for the product are not the right criteria to confirm the authenticity of the product. Therefore, the low price cannot be a good criterion for buying from eBay.
One of the most important factors for identifying a good seller is the feedback rating of buyers. The right seller sells good quality goods. The experience of buying from the eBay site has shown a seller who ranks 99. 8% or higher, it can be a reliable seller.
Therefore, pay attention to the seller’s rating, which is indicated by the word Feedback and shows the level of satisfaction of previous customers with this seller’s services.
