In honor of the 25th anniversary of the marketplace, we will tell you how to buy on eBay and receive goods if the seller does not deliver orders to Ukraine

How to buy on eBay: step-by-step instructions with a photo.
American eBay is one of the largest marketplaces in the world, the main idea of which is to provide sellers with an online platform for selling any goods. In addition to traditional fixed-price sales, eBay also has an auction format - the seller sets the starting price and buyers place bids.

In honor of the platform's 25th anniversary, the PaySpace Magazine editors share new material on how to buy on eBay and receive goods if the seller does not deliver them to Ukraine.

How to buy on eBay​

On the eBay home page, you can search for products by category (Shop by category), view the best deals in the Daily Deals section, or use the search box. After choosing the desired product, you can purchase it, spending just a few minutes to complete the purchase, without registering on the site.

1. Select "Buy it now", then fill out the order form: specify the delivery address and recipient's name, email and contact phone number

2. Select a payment method: on the site you can pay for goods using PayPal (how to make payments through PayPal - read the detailed guide from PaySpace Magazine) and payment cards. When choosing a payment card, in addition to the standard data on the card, you also need to specify the Billing address - the address of the card holder specified when receiving it from the bank

3. Next, the system will generate a payment. If all the data is correct, click "Pay" (Confirm and pay)

Note. Some banks may cancel the payment if a double conversion occurs during the payment; in order to avoid this, choose, if possible, the currency of the country in which the site is located for making the payment. In other cases, you can unblock the possibility of such operations - in the Internet banking settings or by calling the bank's support line.

How eBay online auction works​

Items that participate in the auction do not have a Buy it now button. Instead, the number of "bids" is indicated. To purchase such a product, you first need to offer the highest bid. The user who offers more gets the right to purchase the product.

How to participate in the auction:
1. Select the product you like and then click "Place bit"

2. Then click "Review bit": if the rate was not high enough, it will not work, if successful, you will receive an email confirming that you have the highest rate at the moment. If your bet is beaten, you will receive a notification by email.

Note. Only registered users can participate in the auction: you can create an account using your email, Google account or Apple ID if you have entered the site from an Apple device.

How to get goods that are not delivered to Ukraine​

If the eBay seller does not deliver the goods to Ukraine, use Parcl forwarding services (works with websites of different countries) or Mailboxde.com (to receive parcels from Germany) - they can be used to order delivery from those platforms that do not send goods to Ukraine. Let's see how to do this using the Parcl service as an example.
  1. Indicate the country from where you want to receive the goods and the country of delivery
  2. Enter your postal code
  3. Next, select the category of the product you want to receive, its name, weight, cost and a link to the site
  4. Then you can choose one of two functions: buy the product yourself, specifying the address of the forwarder who will send the product to you, or use the help of the forwarder who will buy the product for you. In the comments to this item, you can indicate a promotional code for a discount, color, size of the product and other details that will help the shipper to buy the right product for you.
  5. Next, you can specify additional options: sending a photo of the product, checking the forwarders of the parcel, insurance, additional packaging, etc.
  6. The service will then calculate the shipping and service charges.
  7. After that you need to specify an email and register in order to use the services of a service that will find a forwarder for you.
