Hi,

A Complete Guide to buy on Ebay . This will really help u to not get cheated on ebay.


1. Pricing of products


Always make sure that ebay charges are 8.5% min if u pay by credit card. This is the amount a seller has to pay ebay for every sale. For Eg: If u buy a product for Rs.4000 , Seller will end up paying Rs.340 To ebay alone.

Always think of it before u purchase on ebay


2. Explaination of Different Warranties


Dealer Warranty - Means that if there is a product u will have to courier the product to the Sellers location to service the product.

Most of these products are Grey market products , Stolen products or chinese products


Manufacturer / National Warranty - Means that u can get the product serviced at any Company Authorized service centre.

These are the genuine Products , But frank there are only 6% of products on ebay are with this warranty type


3.Shipping Charges :

All sellers have accounts with couriers. Am jus giving an eg with the costliest courier - Bluedart for a normal account.

Actual Shipping Charges in Indian Courier ( Bluedart )

First 500 Gms - Rs.35

Second 500 Gms - Rs.20

Then jus Calculate the product u buy.


4.What products are cheaper :


-> Chinese products

-> Grey market products

-> Second hand goods

-> Cheap Jewels

-> Road side products

-> Stolen Products

-> Imitation products


5.Branded Products


Never Buy these brands on ebay - Canon , Olympus , Nikon , Sony , Nokia , Sony Ericsson , Samsung , Apple

If your still wanted to buy then ask for these

-> India warranty card

-> Legal bill

-> All Accessories

-> Original box packing with seal

the guide will never be complete .... people could keep on adding here and i am sure a 10 page manual could be written about !... lol... thats the magnamity of this great community .. i add a 6th point to where my friend stopped ..

6. .... chances are that even after taking all the precautions ... you may end up feeling low over a particular deal .... its not always that the seller is a rogue .... give him some space before throwing bouncers on him ... most often if a problem is handled patiently the chances of an amicable solution works best for the buyers

NEVER PAY cASH. Ensure that the seller is really genuine.

Pay by Paisa Pay or cheque..

Dont make any big transactions with new sellers.

I
too would like to add some info here .





It's info No. 7 : Feedback score : Always see the feedback score of your seller
before buying from him. Negative feedbacks shows that the seller is not very
trustworthy and u will be at risk when u buy something from him and it's very
much possible u won't get the item and also u will find within few days that the
seller is no longer registered with Ebay. In that case the sufferer is the
buyer. So in this case buyer has to be careful before buying from a seller. A
positive 100% feedback score proves the genuinity of the seller and increase the
trust from buyer for a seller. Also be sure that the feedback of your seller is
public and not private . Public feedback score helps buyers to read what other
buyers or sellers have written about a transaction and also increases the
chances of sale. I would like to give a suggestion to the sellers one ebay to
keep their member profile public and not private b'coz private becomes
suspicious and contains negatives too which seller hides from other ebayers.

Hey
sastaitshop!! If there is a unreasonable negative u have got then complain about
it to Ebay. Believe me they will definitely take action against it. Telling u my
case - I got 10 negatives from a single user and that user gave that feedback
immediately. Then I complained about this feedbacks to Ebay team they have
removed that negatives within 4- 5 days and have also suspended that buyer.
Moreover if u hide ur profile by making it private many buyers will get confuse
of ur genuineness and in this way u will lose many buyers. I have read somewhere
between ur post that always respond to the feedback u receive -- And I really
appreciate that.

Hey GamesSupply,

You forgot the 10.2% service charge which eBay levies on its bills. So the total commision would be over 9% 😉

No
sastaitshop --- That negative comments won't remain on the site. My all 10
negative ratings given by a fraud buyer are just vanished after complaining
about it to customer support and the buyer is also suspended from Ebay.
