      How to use search

      Find exactly what you're looking for and keep track of items once you've found them with our range of search tools.

      Whether you're browsing, looking for a specific item, or trying to track down a seller you bought from in the past, we have tools to help.

      The quickest way to search on eBay is by using our search bar at the top of most pages. Type in what you're looking for, hit Search, and we'll find the items that best match your search.

      Searching and filtering results

      Here's an overview of the different ways you can search on eBay and how to keep track of items once you've found them.

      You can use the filters on the left-hand side of the search results page to help narrow down your search results – by item specifics (such as brand, colour and size), item condition (new, used, etc.), buying format (auction, Buy It Now, accepts offers), whether the seller accepts returns, and much more.

      You can also filter for particular delivery options:

      • To find items with free postage, scroll down to the Delivery options filters and select Free postage
      • To find items located in Australia, scroll down to the Item location filters and select Australia Only
      • To find items available for Click & Collect, scroll down to the Delivery options filters and select Free Click & Collect
