Buying as a guest allows you to try shopping on eBay without registering as an eBay member. You can make up to 100 purchases using Buy it Now before you'll need to register.

When buying as a guest:

• The price of the item can't be more than £500.

• Your seller needs to have a Feedback score of 50 or higher and a positive rating of 98% or more.

• You must use Buy it Now to purchase the item.

• You need to pay using PayPal. PayPal allows you to send payments quickly and securely online. You don't need to register - PayPal just processes the payment. Your card information will not be shared with the seller.

• You can make up to 100 purchases before you'll need to register as an eBay member.
