Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to buy from individual sellers on eBay?
eBay provides buyer protection through their Money Back Guarantee program. Always check seller ratings, read feedback from previous buyers, and use secure payment methods for added protection.
How do eBay auctions work?
Auctions allow you to bid on items over a set period, with the highest bidder winning when time expires. You can also use "Buy It Now" to purchase immediately at a fixed price, or submit a "Best Offer" on eligible listings.
What is eBay's return policy?
Return policies vary by seller, but eBay requires most sellers to accept returns within 30 days. Check individual listings for specific return terms, and use eBay's resolution center if issues arise.
Can I negotiate prices on eBay?
Many sellers accept "Best Offer" submissions on their listings, allowing you to negotiate prices. Look for the "Best Offer" button on product pages to submit your proposed price.
How long does shipping typically take?
Shipping times vary greatly depending on the seller's location, shipping method, and your location. Most domestic shipments arrive within 3-8 business days, while international orders may take 1-4 weeks.
