Getting The Most Of Ebay And How To Get Paid Rebates - Cashback For Your Purchases - By Natalie Chan

Like a lot of people I really love ebaying! It saves time going to the city to get your favourite brand, stops you wasting gasoline to get to the destination and most of all things on here are often cheaper than outside.

EBay has also affiliated itself with a few rebate sites so you can actually save on your shopping. Essentially they give you back a percentage of what you spend via monthly paypal payments or checks. This is particularly useful for those who shop online frequently...

Bigcrumbs in particular gives you the highest overall cash back for each purchase at popular retailers, such as EBAY, Target, Old Navy, and Gap. Naturally there are 100's more including travel sites, books, videos, jewellery, flowers and gifts, food and drink, office and business, wireless and internet stores etc. Like the ones forementioned it is free to join and does not require a credit card. In order to receive cashback it is necessary to use their links rather than go to the actual store, otherwise they are unable to verify your purchase. The rebate website has also even provided bookmarks for their shopping links so consumers may attach them directly to their desktops for easy access. [ http://useurl.us/qx ]

With regards to ebay purchasing you have to be careful though when too many people start bidding early on an item as they can end up higher in price than buying it brand new at your local shop. Its often good to check the prices online using google search or any other search engine.

Getting too hung up on winning something can also being very addictive...almost like gambling. Sometimes its better to let it go if the prices get a bit high because chances are someone else will list something similar later on, at a less expensive price.

Checking out alternative spellings of what you are looking for, and looking most closely at gallery descriptions without the pics can also get you great bargains. People often list things incorrectly so keep a lookout.

Don't be afraid to put up an offer when the listing allows you to do so. As a general rule, don't make an offer that is too low. Put yourself in the sellers shoes and think how much you would be willing to sell the item for without making a terrible loss (well most of these auctions and buy it nows are already heavily discounted). Most really low offers just get discarded buy the seller. Likewise of course you wouldn't make an offer that's too high.

If you want to buy and resell things, make sure it's a good brand as often you are unlikely to be able to sell well if it is an unknown one. But most importantly don't buy it too expensive because it is unlikely you will be able to sell it higher than what you paid for yourself.

Just so you don't waste your money, never be afraid to ask questions, especially when it comes to measurements. So many people end up buying things that don't fit just because a sz small in one brand is so much different than sz small in another.

Apart from that make use of your paypal code coupons .....you can search for more if you search for "paypal code coupons" forums in various search engines. Ebay forums sometimes give a few away but this is extremely rare. Thus, you're better off just shopping smart and comparing prices online.
