eBay is one of the largest online marketplaces for buying and trading all kinds of products, with over 100 million online shoppers around the world shopping on eBay just because you can find whatever you want (YES – even for rare, collectible cards or watches) and most importantly, the price could be much cheaper!
However, you may have to deal with individual sellers – not all of the eBay sellers are willing to ship to the Philippines. Why? It is not just because of the shipping fee, but they also want to avoid handling shipping documents. Shipping things outside the U.S. is much more complicated.
This is where Buy&Ship comes in. You can shop on eBay and ship with us! Here we’ll guide you on how to sign up and shop on eBay by following these simple steps!

4. Easy-to-use “Make an Offer” function
Some sellers will allow potential buyers to make an offer for their products, so that even if the product has an original price, the seller and the buyer can negotiate the final price.
5. eBay Authenticity Guarantee
eBay has launched the “eBay Authenticity Guarantee“, which provides verification procedures for high-end products, allowing buyers to provide services for distinguishing authenticity; while luxury goods that have been verified as authentic, such as watches and sneakers, you’ll see “Authenticity Verified” written.
6. Money Back Guarantee
eBay provides a new refund guarantee for both sellers and buyers. When buyers and sellers cannot solve any problems occurred, both parties can choose to contact eBay for help. In some cases, when eBay determines that the seller is not at fault, it will pay its own expenses and refund the buyer.

Step-by-Step Guide on How to Shop via Shipping
– Start Browsing and Shopping –
Step 1 : Make use of the search function to find the product you want. Unlike Amazon, there are 3 ways to purchase an item on eBay:
► Buy and checkout immediately by clicking “Buy It Now”, or “Add to Cart” to continue shopping and checkout later.
► Buy through “Make Offer” button. This means if you believe the “Buy It Now” price doesn’t meet your budget, you can propose a price to the seller. The seller has the right to make a “Counter-offer”, or simply reject it.
► Buy through “auction“. You can submit a bid for the item. Bid usually goes fast at the last minute, so make sure you have added the item to your “Watchlist“, and keep watching the product page to ensure you are not getting outbid!
