How to compare prices with eBay
When you compare prices on eBay, please make sure that follow the guidelines listed below:
- Compare prices with brand new items only
One way of making sure that the item is brand new is to see if the item comes with the warranty form the manufacturer.
There are many people on ebay selling second hand items as brand new.
- Compare prices with the BU Y IT NOW only
Many people confuse the current bid price with the actually selling price of an auction.
Bidding prices only reflect the price of the current auction and does not mean that the item will sell at that price.
Auctions with bids are usually configured with a reserve price which is not visible to bidders.
This reserve price will indicate to ebay the minimum selling price in order to complete the auction.
If the bids do not reach the reserve price then the auction will result in an unsold item.
To avoid this confusion, please always compare prices with the "buy it now" price listed on ebay.
- Always include the shipping costs
Many eBay sellers will lower the selling price of the item and will compensate by increasing the shipping cost.
To compare prices fairly, please make sure to add the shipping cost to the "buy it now" price.
- Make sure you are comparing identical items
When you review prices on eBay, please make sure to compare prices on the exact same products found on our site.
For example many of the Wii game consoles are sold as bundles with tons of games.
In such cases it is important that you compare those prices with identical bundles on eBay as opposed to comparing prices with a stand alone game console.
Compare these products with real live auctions!
