• Clothes - You can get new or hardly worn second hand clothes very cheap on ebay.

• Educational books - Amazon isn't the only place to buy books online!

• Games Consoles - Much cheaper on ebay. Xbox's from £110.

 

Basically, most things are cheaper on ebay if you know how to use the site correctly. Follow these tips to make the most out of ebay.

• Check the users positive & negative feedback stats. You don't want to buy from a user that is worse that 95% positive, they may steal your money.

• Don't bid on an item straight away. If you really want a certain item put in last minute bids (literally last minute). Set your alarm on your phone to go off when the listing is about to run out, then bid.

• Go for out of season items. Try buying winter jackets in the summer or swimshorts in the winter. Much cheaper.

• Browse the categories for cheaper items. Look around in other parts of the site to see if there are other listings of what you want. You may find it cheaper.

 

Good luck. Happy ebaying!
