On eBay it’s easy to find great Buy It Now deals or cheap bargains in auction format, but you can reap even more benefits and save extra money by using a number of useful tips.
Compare and track prices
Don’t think eBay is always the cheapest, check the prices at other online retailers like Amazon and Walmart or use shopping robots such as MegaShopBot.com searching the lowest price online. Track eBay price changes and set up price drop alerts.
Use misspelling search tools
Many people mistype or misspell the name of the brand or the product (e.g., Addidas or Adids instead of Adidas). Due to this reason most users don’t see this item in the listing, so you can take advantage and win with a minimum bid. Use special search websites that browse eBay for various spelling mistakes: FatFingers.com, BargainChecker.com or BayCrazy.com.
Purchase cheap gift cards
On eBay you can buy almost any gift card for the price below face value, as people often want to get cash instead of a gift card.
Buy books and event tickets
Half.com offers a broad variety of books, music and video at discounted prices, and in the main eBay marketplace some titles may cost even less. At StubHub.com, also owned by eBay, you can find good deals on tickets for sports and concerts.
Consider used items
eBay is one of the largest online marketplaces of used products from toys to cars, and many of them come barely used or in excellent condition. In addition to low prices, some used items from top rated third-party sellers can come with a warranty.
Find night time auctions
Listings that close late at night get fewer bids and go cheap. Spot such auctions with Night Time Bargain search at BayCrazy and combine this tip with auto bidders.
Check the total costs
To really get a bargain, do a search and then sort merchandise by 'Price + P&P: lowest first'. Be sure to check the shipping fees before placing a bid, since some vendors charge higher postage rates to compensate the low item price.
Look for local eBay bargains
If you want to avoid delivery hustle and save on postage, check local deals with special search tools like CrazyLocals at BayCrazy only showing the items listed as ‘pick up’ or ‘collect in person’.
Save on overseas delivery
International customers can use the same tricks to save on shopping, and a special tip to save on delivery.
