There are couple of things you need to watch while buying on eBay: is this the item that I want?
Please check the description  and pictures of the item that you want to purchase.

 Please make sure that the item's description is matching exactly your needs. When in doubt, ask the seller. Beside watching the item you need to watch the seller as well. Make sure you are buying from  a seller that has a perfect or close to perfect rating. Better the rating, more likely is that you will receive the item you have bought.

Also make sure, the shipping costs are as well convenient for you.
After a winning bid, according to the seller's specifications, the payment needs to be sent.
Lastly an honest feedback needs to be given to the seller.

Wishing you happy bidding!
