    Smart eBay Buying

    Get great deals safely.

    1. Watch list

    Tap heart on items. Track prices. Buy when right.

    2. Seller feedback

    99%+ ratings preferred. 100+ feedback shows experience.

    3. Bidding sniping

    Wait until last 30 seconds. Use eBay's max bid feature so you don't have to watch.

    4. Buyer protection

    If item never arrives or is fake, eBay refunds you. Pay only through eBay.

    5. Local pickup

    Save shipping. Pick up local items. Meet at safe place.

    6. Returns

    Many sellers offer 30-day returns. Check before buying.

    If a deal sounds too good (Rolex for $50), it's a scam. Use common sense.
