eBay is an online marketplace where people and businesses sell new and used items across categories such as electronics, mobile phones, computers, home and garden, fashion, toys, collectibles, car parts and tools. Listings can be fixed price or auction style, so prices and availability vary by seller.

Deals on eBay often come from auctions that end low, seller discounts on fixed price listings, and clearance style pricing on refurbished or pre-owned goods. You can also save by using multi-buy offers where sellers provide them, and by comparing prices across different sellers for the same item.

Because it is a marketplace, delivery costs, returns and warranty cover depend on the individual seller and the listing terms. Many purchases are covered by eBay Money Back Guarantee when an item does not arrive or is not as described.
