Info About eBay Bidding

You Can Sell Anything on eBay � Or Can You?




Over 100 million people are members of eBay. Through eBay, you can buy items in almost any category that you can imagine � at great prices. You can also sell almost anything you can imagine on eBay � people often sell items that have absolutely no real value for very high prices. There are limits, however, to what can be bought and sold.


eBay does not allow certain items to be auctioned through their website. Services are one type of �item� that cannot be auctioned � simply because it is not an item. Some seller�s blatantly ignore this however. The sell of other items is illegal, even if it isn�t being sold through eBay. eBay restricts the sale of any type of item that is considered �illegal for sale� in any other selling format. Illegal items such as satellite descramblers are forbidden as well.


Anything that is copyrighted - such as copies of DVDs, CDs, or software - may not be sold through eBay auctions. You can, however, sell a DVD, CD, or any software that you bought legitimately�as long as you are not just selling a copy that you made of these types of items. eBay does not allow the sale of �replicas.� A replica is a knockoff version of designer items, such as purses, dresses, shoes, or sunglasses that look identical to those that have designer labels.


Items that are regulated by the state or federal government are forbidden on eBay. These items include alcoholic beverages, weapons and firearms, all tobacco products, and both prescription and illegal drugs. There are small exceptions to this rule, however. If you have a collectable, such as a tin that contains tobacco, you may sell that item if the package has never been opened, and if you state the contents of the package are not meant for consumption. There are other conditions that must be met as well when selling these types of collectables.


Any type or breed of animal or reptile may not be sold through an eBay auction. This includes animals that were once living, and are now stuffed and mounted. This rule may also apply to items that are taken from endangered species, such as Ivory. When it comes to these types of items, when in doubt, don�t.


Tickets may be sold, but it is illegal to sell tickets for a higher price than you originally paid for them. This is called ticket scalping, and it is illegal. Lottery tickets are also banned from eBay auctions, as well as raffle tickets. Again, if you are not sure if your item is eligible for an eBay auction, either don�t put it up for auction, or contact eBay to get an answer one way or the other. Don�t risk breaking the law!

More Ideas About eBay
Ebay Buyers Resources



PowerSellers think far more like shops. They sell the same things again and again, every week - regular stock for regular customers. They do 'boring' business things like keep inventories and budgets. They know what they're going to be selling, how much they buy it for and how much they expect to sell for. Just like a real shop, there can be hard times sometimes, but their income is stable and their business can grow slowly.

Paying by Cheques and Money Orders for your eBay purchase is payment the old-fashioned way, and will lead to a long wait to your item. You need to post the cheque or money order, then the seller has to take it to the bank and get it cleared, and only then do they send the item. The only reason to use this method is if either you or the seller distrusts electronic payment methods. If you're willing to go to the trouble with these sellers, though, you might get an item very cheaply, as most buyers just can't be bothered.
When you pay by cheque or money order, make sure to print the eBay order confirmation page (it will be emailed to you) and put it in the envelope with your payment. Underline or circle key information like your mailing address and the item number. Finally, remember to be patient: keep in contact with the seller, as it really can take a month or two before everything falls into place and your item turns up.

Buying On Ebay



Don't worry about causing problems for sellers by doing this, by the way - they have no way of even telling that you used a coupon, as eBay just pay them for the item as usual. Coupons are good for sellers as they attract more buyers to eBay, meaning that they get more bids on their auctions. After all, why would they object to getting more money without you actually having to pay it?
