Shipping details for purchases over eBay is actually a misnomer. eBay is not responsible for the shipping details of an item.
First of all, it should be duly noted that eBay is an online market/transaction facilitator. It merely becomes a means for the buyer and the seller to meet. It is also a regulating body that helps develop fairness of trades among parties.
However, the terms and details of the trade are subject to the agreement of both buying and selling parties.
For most cases, the details of a trade – the payment modes, conditions, and shipping details are specified by the selling party. Taking note of, and understanding such is important to avoiding disputes over shipping details between buyer and seller.
If the buyer does not pay attention to the terms stated here, he may find himself on the losing end of a trade. He must, therefore, be vigilant in studying the terms before agreeing to a trade.
The buyer should also note that shipping is usually exclusive of the bid price he may have agreed to on the auction. He should weigh in the costs of shipping and handling when considering trades.
Sellers on the other hand should ensure that the mode of delivery he specifies is convenient, cost-efficient, and attractive to most buyers.
Buyers should review the shipping details for an item listing. He must specifically take note of insurance, shipping and handling charges, sales tax and return policy.
In the case of insurance, if the seller does not specify any details for such, the buyer should discuss the possibility of including one in the purchase. One walks on the safe side if he does not assume that all will go well on the delivery.
The buyer should also inquire about the return policy – the rights available to a buyer if desires to return an item for whatever reason may it be dissatisfaction, damage, etc.
Depending on the size of the item and its location, shipping costs can add significantly to the total cost of the item. The buyer should make sure the shipping details are clear and fair before agreeing to them.
The buyer should also take advantage of the safety mechanisms available to him. The buyer and seller should agree upon such and contact their shipping company of choice to request measures to address their delivery concerns.
Again, the key component to considering the shipping details of an item over eBay is good communication.
In the end, one could say that shipping plans over eBay items can be safe – as long as one takes great pains and meticulous methods to ensure a hassle free delivery.

Anyone who has used the Internet knows that a big chunk of e-commerce comes from auction sites. EBay is the world leader, but many other Web sites exist, too, some filling special niches (gun auctions, government auctions, car auctions, etc.) and some handling general merchandise but doing it differently. (And, yes, some operate just like eBay, only with fewer listings and fewer sellers.)
Oltiby.com has a unique spin, however, in that it uses reverse auctions. Instead of a seller listing his item and many buyers bidding for it — thus raising the price — on Oltiby.com, the BUYER lists what he’s looking for, then lets the SELLERS offer him a price. Whichever seller offers the lowest price, that’s who the buyer does business with.
When looking at auction sites, you want one that will get you the best merchandise for the lowest price. So using a regular site like eBay doesn’t make sense. Why use a site that is oriented toward sellers (i.e., getting sellers the most money) instead of buyers (i.e., helping sellers save money)? That’s great if you’re a seller, but for buyers, a reverse auction is more logical.
Another important factor in choosing auction sites is the fees associated with them. Is there a charge for listing your item, plus another one based on how much you wind up paying for it? http://www.Oltiby.com is free for buyers to list what they’re looking for, and free for sellers to post descriptions of what they have available. The only fee is based on the final selling price of the item. With no other hidden fees, it’s easy to see why Oltiby.com is a smart alternative to the regular Internet auction.

One thing about eBay that a lot of people don’t know is that you can have multiple user id’s. Which means you can have more than 1 eBay account.
Here is why I feel it’s important to have more than one user id. When you’re selling on eBay with a certain id, you can focus it to a specific niche. You can keep it to the same products you use on your website.
Another reason it’s good to have another id is this, eBay can basically suspend your auction account and not tell you why you were suspended (User Agreement, Section 9). They’ll not only suspend the account that you are using, but every account that has the same credit card information on it.
So back yourself up, and get an eBay id with your name and credit card, and then get your spouse to register with a different credit card. I would also suggest that a different computer be used too.
This way you’re protected and if eBay does suspend one account, you can still use the other one in the meantime. eBay is pretty good about working with you about getting your account back. They just take some time to email you back.
This does come out of experience for me. I had a schedule that was launching a certain product and I didn’t stop the schedule in time, and it listed the items again that eBay had warned me about. I can’t exactly remember why they suspended my account, I think it was the wording regarding shipping and handling.
But they were very willing to work things out with me, and I got my account re-instated pretty quickly. But when you’re waiting, don’t try to register a new account in your name, because the system won’t let you.
