eBay saves you money, did you know that?
With today's economy, saving money is more important than ever!! Why spend extra money when you can use eBay to save bunches online and more?
This lens will walk you through some of the nifty ways eBay will protect your pocketbook, tips for signing up and more.
So let's dive in! Right now, I'll bet you're thinking to yourself:
"eBay? Isn't that just for selling stuff?"
Trust me, you're not the first person to think this!!
And I'm more thrilled than a two year old with 39 Elmo plushies to tell you that:
"Sure, it's for selling....but think for a second - someone has to be buying all that stuff too!"
And if it's yummy things that save you money, why SHOULDN'T it be you?
Hmmmm?
If you're already convinced that yes indeed, you want to start saving money via eBay now, you can zoom ahead to registering for free here. But if you're looking for more reasons, feast your eyes on:
Reason 1 - Coupons and discounts!
There are people who spend time clipping bunches of coupons and sell them via ebay. Sometimes the savings are amazing indeed:
Fetching RSS feed... please stand byReason 2 - Gift cards and gift certificates!
Ever receive a gift card for something in which you have zero interest?
Heh, so have thousands of others! And quite often, they'll put those on eBay as well:
Fetching RSS feed... please stand byReason 3 - Don't forget lots!
Another great way to save big via eBay is to search for lots, ie, more than one of an item. Let's say that you're looking for children's clothing - you could search for
webkinz lot
girls pants lot
naruto lot
ps3 game lot
Click on each link above to see the goodies that are revealed. Heck, here's a result for "Harry Potter lot":

Were you aware that it's free to sign up on eBay and start bidding and buying? Yes indeed - all you need to get the ball rolling on eBay is an eBay ID (once you win an item, you do need to pay for it, of course).
Think of your eBay ID like a Yahoo Mail ID or an AOL Messenger name or a ICQ nickname or a .. It's simply a handle by which you identify yourself on eBay.
You must have ready three important bits of information when you register for free on eBay. These include:
Your personal information - Name, address, phone
<<============================>>
Your email address - This is so you can receive notifications of when you sell an item or are the successful bidder of one.
<<============================>>
Your eBay ID - This is your own personal nickname that you yourself choose. Be creative -
If you're a sports enthusiast, you could choose something like mikelovesbaseball or runningaceSue.
If you live in the south east, you could use joyfromCA or JohnAZ.
Do you love pets instead? Consider something like moose007 or WolvesRcool.
And so on, and so on.
In addition, eBay states on their site that IDs:
May contain letters (a-z), numbers (0-9) and/or many symbols.
Must be at least (2) characters long.
Are case sensitive.
Can't contain spaces.
Can't be obscene, profane or hateful.
And IDs can't contain:
The "@" symbol.
The "&" (ampersand) symbol.
The letter "e" followed by numbers.
URLs (for example xyz.com).
The word, "eBay." Only eBay employees may use "eBay" in their User IDs. This is to prevent non-employees from posing as employees.
Sounds good? Okay then....you can now:

PS - Here's one of my favorite "Secret Weapon" uses for eBay!
You know what I love using eBay for?
It's my secret weapon for finding great end-of-the-year gifts for teachers!
I'm most serious. Over the years, I've found out what my kids' teachers enjoy as hobbies and the like, and have bought via eBay:
a Mousepad of a ballroom dancer
a 1926 edition of the Girl Scouts Handbook
an authentic school handbell
and more!
And yes, I'm serious about the bell:
