Do you get a good deal on ebay?

Question

Do you get a good deal on ebay?

Answer 1

Sometimes.  It depends on the item and the shipping costs.

Answer 2

Yes, if you be careful to consider shipping costs in the deal.  Sometimes, a bid will go over what you can get for the same (exact!) item elsewhere on the web, or from the seller directly.

Some sellers will always have a product up for bid with a "Buy It Now!" button.  They use ebay more as an advertising source for their own site.  If you wait out the auction, you can probably go directly to their site and get the same item.  You could also go to comparison shopping site such as http://mysimon.com or http://dealchalet.com and look for a better deal.

If you see it as a good deal, check the seller's ratings and comments.  Usually, a good seller will have the occasional bad customer and you'll see the smattering of 1's.  A lot of low ratings would be an indicator of a bad seller, so beware!

Answer 3

Yes, you can , find things you want and don't go over with what you want to pay, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, so stick with what you want to pay and don't get caught up in a bidding war/
