Don't Forget to Check the Site Map!

The Site Map is a link on eBay that directs users to a page that displays the entire contents of eBay. Every page will have a link to Site Map if you ever get lost.  It's usually on the lower right after you've scrolled down to the bottom of the page.
With the eBay site being as large as it is, you can avoid countless hours of fruitless search by using the Site Map to locate the information you need.

Here are examples of the links that the Site Map contains:

Promote Your Item. This feature allows you to further enhance your auction’s potential by using eBay tools.

Block Bidder/Buying List. Prevent fraudulent and deadbeat bidders from ruining your auctions. You can increase your auction success ratio by eliminating bidders who are not serious.

Answer Center. What eBay seller doesn’t have questions that need to be answered? Take the guess work out of your business, by participating in the Answer Center. You can save time (translate this: money) by quickly finding the answers to your auction related questions.

Chat Rooms. Communicate with other eBay members who can share their experiences and knowledge with you. Information is the name of the game. What better way is there to gather information, than to get it from your fellow eBay members.

Be Careful!

A few notes of caution:



• Be cautious of email that claims to come from eBay. Any messages from eBay OR PayPal will also be available on the sites themselves.


• eBay involves money and making smart financial choices. You are responsible for making sure you understand these transactions before you participate in them. If you have questions, please ask!


• DO NOT EVER give your login, password or any banking information in response to an email or to a site that you did not go to on your own.
