Research Health & Beauty Products

Research Health & Beauty Products

You've browsed through the Health & Beauty category and several products have caught your eye. Now it's time for the next step: buying the product. Before you place your bid, it's a good idea to do some basic research. Below are some tips on what to look for and questions to ask when you are thinking about buying a Health & Beauty item:

• Read the item description carefully: Good sellers will include as much information about the product as possible, including the shade, size, and benefits.

• Note any information about expiration dates and warnings: Health & Beauty products such as skincare may have an expiration date. Some products such as diet supplements and vitamins may include health warnings. Read the descriptions or simply send the seller an email with your questions. Sellers will include this information in the item description, but if you are unsure, don't be afraid to ask.   

• Examine the pictures: Most sellers will include several pictures of the item, taken from different angles and distances. Take the time to look at these pictures to get a good visual of the condition and, if you're purchasing makeup, the shades. More than 90% of the products sold on eBay are new and unused-often brand new and in box-so you can feel assured that you're receiving the same product sold in retail stores.  

• Research the seller: Be sure to check the feedback score of the seller and take the time to read the comments left by other users. You might want to check out other items he/she may be listing or browse through his/her store to get a sense of what to expect.

• Ask questions: Don't hesitate to ask for more information if you still have questions after reading the item description. You want to feel secure and happy with your purchase, so take advantage of the "Ask the seller a question" link.

Before making your purchase, make sure you know exactly what you're buying, research your seller, and understand how eBay and PayPal protect you.

Know your purchase

Carefully read the details in item listings.

• Figure delivery costs into your final price. If you spend a lot of money, make sure the seller will insure the item when it ships.

• If you want more information, ask by clicking the "Ask seller a question" link under the seller's profile.

• Always make sure to complete your transaction on eBay (with a bid, Buy It Now, or Best Offer). Transactions conducted outside of eBay are not covered by eBay protection programs.

Know your seller

Research your seller so you feel positive and secure about every transaction.

• What is the seller's Feedback rating? How many transactions have they completed? What percentage of positive responses do they have?

• What do buyers say in their Feedback? Did the seller receive praise?

• Most top eBay sellers operate like retail stores and have return policies. Do they offer a money-back guarantee? What are the terms and conditions?

Buyer protection

In the unlikely event that a problem arises during your transaction, eBay and PayPal are there for you.

• Pay safely with PayPal: PayPal enables you to pay without the seller ever seeing your bank account or credit card numbers. In fact, PayPal protects buyers 100% against unauthorized payments from their accounts. Plus, with PayPal Buyer Protection, your purchase can be covered up to $1,000.
