The Man's Guide To: eBay®

Shopping on EBay is a lot like dating, generally you're going to have a couple of bad experiences but providing you don't catch the clap on your first outing you'll do it again. FYI, I haven't met anyone who's caught the clap from an EBay purchase... yet.

Spoting Fakes
No, not those kind of fakes, rather knock off Cucci, Louis Wuiton and Dolce & Cabbana. Fake gear usually is listed quite cheap, and generally astute buys will stay clear so there will be no bids on the items. Also the location will be in Asia or cleverly disguised as bum-fuck, USA.

Your Size
Go to Saks, David Jones, Bloomingdales, Wal-Mart or wherever you buy your designer clothing from and try your size on. Know exactly what size you are in Nike, Nudie Jeans, American Appel, Ambercrombie etc. By knowing this, you're less likely to receive something in the mail which would be better suited to a midget.

Do Your Research
Seen a killer pair of shades in the shop you want to find online? Get the model number and go hunting online. You'll save a bundle of cash and time looking for them, especially in you're in Australia.

Use Auction Sniper
I found this great tool call auction sniper that's dynamite for beating dumb-asses to the punch when bidding on an item. Check it out.

Relist It!
If it's not right, relist it. Simple. Don't get shitty, just take a photo and let someone else have it. At the very least, you'll learn for next time.

Oh and pay on time, nobody likes a tight-ass.
