Let's Start...

In this lesson I'm going to tell you about a few little known techniques and methods to bid and buy like a pro.

To be successful as a marketer, you need to understand what your customers are going through when buying on line (the experience)....so there is no better way than doing it yourself.

What you need to do and consider when buying/bidding on an item or service ?

First, search in the eBay search box or selecting a category in the category directories of your interest.

Goto eBay.com home page and search for 'good or service'.
If you are in a hurry, its better to browser the buy-it-now listings...if not then check out the auctions listings.

Think of your budget, how much are you willing to spend and how much to spend...and trust me they are different...bidding can be like gambling. Leave with less than you came with! Be careful not to bid all your money away for some silly item. So set an absolute max, the amount you are going to spend!

... Here is the BIG secret weapon that I use:

Now have you ever found one of those secret programs you religiously use day-in and day-out?...or have some program that you stubbornly use no matter what anyone says or suggests?

...what I'm trying to say is, people tend to hold a belief of feeling about a particular product based on a first impression or ease-of-use...

OK ...

Find the product in your price range by sorting the listings by price, or if your in a hurry, sort by date ending.

It is better to only consider sellers that have a high feedback rating...this will ensure prompt service and a better guarantee. Browse through the feedback and see what other people are saying. Take a look at the neutral and negative feedback.

Make sure that the seller has responded to the negative feedback...this demonstrates service protection effort.

Give your valid and working email address when buying stuff on eBay, so the seller can contact you to avoid the negative feedback war.


Moving on...it is very useful to narrow down your search by using eBay's advanced search options here:

You can enter in your price range, categories, enter words to exclude in your search ... and many more useful options.

Use the keyword phrase, enter the your price range ,click the 'in titles and descriptions' checkbox click the 'Buy It Now Items only'
Once you find the product you want to purchase here is what you do:

Check out the sellers feedback as mentioned previously
If you are on a tight budget you can contact the seller and request to purchase the product at a lower price ...this works most of the time.
For additional security, you can contact one of the eBay members from the sellers feedback and ask them about the quality of the seller's service.
How to bid!

Scroll down to the bottom of the listings page to where it says bidding.
Enter in your desired bid price
Click the place bid button
You will then immediately be notified that you placed a bid with the product. and you will also be notified if you have been outbid by another member.
If you were outbid, then you can follow the link in the outbid notification email to place a higher bid.
AND...don't bid over your budget ... there are always other auctions to bid on!
If you win, the seller will contact you on Payment method
