Ebay Seller Check Tips to Avoid Unpaid Items
Avoiding Unpaid Items - tips for buyers
Before bidding on an item, please remember that you automatically enter into a legally binding contract to purchase the item from the seller if you're the winning buyer in the listing or use the Buy It Now feature. To help ensure success with your transactions, please follow these suggestions:
Carefully review the item description before bidding. If you have any questions about an item, be sure to contact the seller before placing a bid.
Find out the seller's shipping costs and areas they are willing to ship to before committing to buy.
Ensure the seller will accept your preferred payment method before committing to buy.
If you have a problem communicating with the seller through email after you have won the item, you can request contact information for your seller (including a phone number) from us.
Ensure that you update your contact information, including your email address, whenever it changes. Make sure that you don't have any "spam" blocking software installed that may limit a seller from communicating with you.
Carefully review the seller's terms and shipping details to make sure you are eligible to bid on the item. If the seller has any buyer requirements that you don't meet, contact the seller for permission prior to placing a bid or using the "Buy It Now" feature.
If you have computer or connection problems, please remember that you can access your ebay account through any computer with Internet access, such as those at a library or friend's house. You can monitor your bids from your My ebay page from any computer connected with the Internet.
