Website Secrets and Blogging

While the eBay staff can be helpful, they’re often busy. An equally good source of information and advice and one that’s often faster than going through official channels is the huge universe of fellow eBay users. eBay makes it easy to communicate with other users by providing a number of topic-specific discussion boards and chat rooms.You access all of eBay’s discussion forums from the eBay Community page (community.ebay.com), which you can open by clicking the Community button on the eBay Navigation bar. Feel free to ask any appropriate question of your fellow members; you may be surprised how fast you get a response!

While eBay makes it easy to browse through the numerous categories of merchandise offered for sale, there are so many items listed in most categories that browsing in this fashion is virtually impractical. It’s much more efficient to use eBay’s search function to search the millions of active auctions for those particular
items you’re shopping for.Using eBay search is like using the search function at Google and similar sites.
Enter one or more keywords into the search box on eBay’s home page and then click the Search button. Items matching your query are then listed on a separate results page.

eBay automatically searches for items that include all the words in your query.If you instead want to do an OR-type search, or search for an exact phrase, or exclude words from the search, then you have to use advanced search operators in conjunction with your keywords. eBay’s accepted search operators are detailed in Table below
