Part of the beauty of eBay is that it is made up of users from all parts of the world. This makes eBay an international marketplace in a very literal way. Not only can you sell to anyone in any country you choose, you can also buy things from every corner of the globe. When you buy internationally on eBay, the world really is your oyster.
Instructions:
1) Go to your eBay account and sign in.
2) Go shopping. Search the eBay Web site and make bids on items (or purchase them at fixed prices) as you normally would.
3) Take note of where said items are located. If the location of the item is in a foreign country, you now have the opportunity to buy internationally.
4) Review your payment choices. Once you have won the auction or committed to buy at a fixed price, you will receive an invoice from eBay and probably one from the buyer, too. These invoices will give you your payment options.
5) Pay for your item. If the seller takes PayPal, this will be the easiest way for you to pay. When you pay for your item with PayPal, the currency conversion is automatically taken care of for you, so you don't have to figure it out. This is true whether you use PayPal to pay by credit card, e-check or via your existing PayPal balance.
6) Send a check or money order. If the seller prefers one of these methods of payment, you will have to either figure out the currency conversion yourself based on the current rates or go to your bank and have them do the calculations. Correct calculations are important in these transactions, as you want to be sure you are paying the seller the proper amount. Once you have the correct amount calculated, mail your payment to the seller.
Tips and Warnings:
You can have confidence in the integrity of your private information when you use eBay. With multiple firewalls, cyberlocks and other security measures in place, eBay is an expert in keeping its members' personal data secure. You can help eBay in this regard by never giving personal or financial information to another member beyond what is required to complete a transaction.
