Determine Your Shopping Style

Determine Your Shopping Style

No matter how you like to shop, eBay makes it easy and fun! And with PayPal Buyer Protection, your purchases are covered up to $1,000. There are several ways to shop for clothing, shoes, and accessories on eBay:

• Browse: Use the links on the left side of the Clothing, Shoes & Accessories portal page to browse by category.     

• Brands:Find over 400 of your favorite designers when you browse by brand.     

• Deals & Trends: The main graphics on the right side of the Clothing, Shoes & Accessories portal page are a great way to see what promotions are running, what's hot for the season, and what's new.     

• Stores: Visit eBay Stores. It's like walking into a virtual mall.

No matter what your shopping style, be sure to read the details and the fine print in item listings. Look for information about fit, fabric and style. Know what you’re getting; a designer handbag and a "designer-inspired" handbag are not the same thing. Some sellers will even tell you whether the item you’re considering comes from a smoke-free home or a home with no pets.

Below are some commonly-used terms that will help you determine the item’s condition:

• New With Tags or New Without Tags: never washed or worn; no flaws.*

• Like New: Appears new, no signs of wear; washed and possibly worn; no flaws.

• Excellent: Previously worn, with only very slight wash wear; no flaws.

• Very Good: Previously worn with moderate wash wear/fade, but no visible flaws.

• Good/Play: Previously worn with minor visible flaw(s), and/or significant wash wear/fade.

• Fair: Previously worn with significant visible flaw(s), and/or heavy wash wear/fade.

• Poor: Not wearable, has severe flaws/damage, but with desireable useable element(s).

* Flaws might include spots, stains, holes, tears, fabric irregularities, or problems with buttons, zippers, snaps, etc.

If you know just what you're looking for, you can go straight to searching. The following guidelines will show you how to find what you want and gather all the information you need to make an informed purchase.

Use basic search strategies

If you're looking for BCBG Heels, as an example, you could run a basic search:

There are several ways to make your search more efficient, so you can find just what you want quickly:

• To search by brand, enter the brand name into the search box.   

• To search multiple keywords, use parenthesis. For example, if you type “(BCBG, Bebe)” into the search box, you will get all items that contain BCBG or Bebe. If you search “BCBG (black, brown)” you will get all items that contain BCBG and either black or brown. If you type “BCBG, Black, Brown” you will get all items that contain BCBG and black and brown. Note that the key difference in all of these searches is where you place your parenthesis.      

• To further narrow your search, include the following acronyms commonly used on eBay:

Use Product Finders
Product Finders, located on the left side of listings pages, can help narrow your search. For example, the Women's Shoes Finder can help you sort listings by style, size, color, and condition.  

Discover hard-to-find items
Create a post on Want It Now and tell millions of sellers exactly what you want! Chances are it's out there somewhere! Still can't find exactly what you want? Save your search and eBay will email you when a match is available.

Watch Items

If you find what you’re looking for, but want to wait a bit before bidding or buying at a set price, you can choose to "watch" your item. Simply click on the link in the upper right corner of the listing page that reads “Watch this item” and it’ll be added to your My eBay Watching Page (under the All Buying section in the left hand column). Treat it as your own online shopping bag, with no commitment.

Before making your purchase, make sure you know exactly what you're buying, research your seller, and understand how eBay and PayPal protect you.

Know your purchase

Carefully read the details in item listings.

• Figure delivery costs into your final price. If you spend a lot of money, make sure the seller will insure the item when it ships.

• If you want more information, ask by clicking the "Ask seller a question" link under the seller's profile.

• Always make sure to complete your transaction on eBay (with a bid, Buy It Now, or Best Offer). Transactions conducted outside of eBay are not covered by eBay protection programs.

• Never pay for your eBay item using instant cash wire transfer services through Western Union or MoneyGram. These payment methods are unsafe when paying someone you do not know.

Know your seller

Research your seller so you feel positive and secure about every transaction. Feedback is an indicator of their reputation on eBay and an unbiased source of information about their quality, customer service, and reliability. Think twice before purchasing from a seller with significant negative feedback or from a seller who doesn’t respond to emails. 

• What is the seller's Feedback rating? How many transactions have they completed? What percentage of positive responses do they have?

• What do buyers say in their Feedback? Did the seller receive praise?

• Most top eBay sellers operate like retail stores and have return policies. Do they offer a money-back guarantee? What are the terms and conditions?

Buyer protection

In the unlikely event that a problem arises during your transaction, eBay and PayPal are there for you.

• Pay safely with PayPal: PayPal enables you to pay without the seller ever seeing your bank account or credit card numbers. In fact, PayPal protects buyers 100% against unauthorized payments from their accounts. Plus, with PayPal Buyer Protection, your purchase can be covered up to $1,000.

• eBay Security & Resolution Center: Visit the Security & Resolution Center to learn how to protect your account and use eBay's quick and efficient resolution tools.
