To cancel an order – whether it's a Buy It Now transaction or you've won an auction – you'll need to contact the seller and ask them to cancel it for you.
The eBay shopping cart lets you save fixed-price items you want to buy while you continue shopping. When you're ready, you can check out and pay for multiple items in one go.
Best Offer lets you offer the seller a price you're willing to pay on Buy It Now items. The seller decides whether to accept, reject, or counter your offer.
If you've made a mistake when bidding on an item, you can retract your bid in certain circumstances.
Automatic bidding is the easiest way to bid on an eBay auction. Simply enter the highest price you're willing to pay for an item, and we do the rest.
eBay auctions will often have multiple competing bidders, but you can maximise your chances of winning by having a well thought out bidding strategy.
If you lost out in an auction, the seller might send you a Second Chance Offer, giving you another opportunity to get the item you were looking for.
If you didn't get your item, you're covered under eBay Money Back Guarantee. We'll make sure you either receive the item you ordered, or get your money back.
Most sellers accept returns if you've changed your mind about an item – check the listing for full details of their return policy. If there's something wrong with your item, you're entitled to return it, regardless of the seller's return policy.
If you don't agree with our decision after we've stepped in to help resolve an issue between you and a seller, you can appeal by providing new information within 30 days of the case being closed.
For help with your PayPal account, or paying with PayPal, it's best to contact PayPal Customer Support directly.
Paying for items with PayPal on eBay is simple and secure. It's also the payment method most commonly accepted by our sellers.
If you prefer not to use PayPal, credit and debit card payments are often accepted by sellers.
When you're ready to pay, simply head to checkout. You'll be able to check the details of your order and confirm how and where you want it delivered.
You can follow your package online all the way to your delivery address when the seller uploads tracking information.
Estimated delivery dates let you know when you can expect an eBay item to arrive.
When shopping on eBay, you'll find items from all over the world. If you buy from an overseas seller, they can deliver to you through regular international postage services, or if they're in the US or UK, they may choose to use eBay's Global Shipping Program (GSP).
You can find a seller's postage rates in the Postage section of every eBay listing. We always show the postage cost separately to the item cost to make clear exactly how much you're paying for delivery.
Your purchase history lets you track and manage all the items you've bought on eBay. Go to Purchase history to find details on the items you've bought from as long as three years ago.
If you're looking for a particular eBay seller, you can use our advanced search to find them.
Every item you buy on eBay has its own unique item number, which is sometimes called an item ID.
Occasionally you might not be able to find a listing on our site anymore. This could just be because someone else already bought the item, but sometimes there may have been an issue with the listing and we needed to remove it.
Your Feedback profile shows all of the Feedback you've received and left for others. From there, you can also follow up, make changes, or add comments to Feedback you've left.
When you leave Feedback, you're letting others know about your buying experience with a seller. Usually this means leaving positive Feedback to recognise a successful purchase. However, if something didn't go as smoothly as expected, you might choose to leave a negative rating or comment. If that happens, and the seller doesn't believe the Feedback was fair, they have the option of disputing it.
You can find the best and most reputable sellers on eBay by looking at their seller rating, Feedback score, and the number of items they've sold.
