The eBay Checkout Procedure is designed to make the process of
completing a sale and purchase as simple and straightforward as possible by
leading both the buyer and the seller through a series of steps.
- Step 1 - Commence
Checkout. Listings that use Checkout will display a Checkout button on
the listing page at the end of the auction, or when Buy it Now has been
selected. There are also links to Checkout on your My
eBay page and also in the automated email sent by eBay to notify you
that the auction has finished.
- Step 2 – On
entering the Checkout page, you will be asked to type in your address
for postage, which can be saved so you don’t have to re-type it each
time you make a purchase. Your address is automatically sent to the
seller.
- Step 3 – Amount
due for Payment. Usually, the seller will have entered payment details
for standard postage on the listing with optional additions for insurance
or special delivery and eBay calculate the total for you based on the
basic standard option. You can use the "ask seller
for total" hyperlink if you would like a non standard postage
option.
- Step 4 –
Payment Method. If you are using the automatically calculated total due
for payment, or have now received the total price including special
postage, you can select which payment method to use from the options the
seller detailed in their listing. PayPal allows immediate payment
through Checkout and this is also the safest way to pay sellers. If you use
another payment method, eBay will email your address and any message you
wish to include to the seller and will show you the seller’s address to
which payment should be sent.
- Step 5 - The
Checkout Summary is available from both the listing page and from My eBay so you can easily check on the current status
of your transaction. You’ll be reminded if anything else needs to be
done, including leaving feedback when your item has been received.
