Everyone’s at it , even my neighbors . I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn’t done an eBay deal . So , I decided to try my hand at online auction（网上拍卖）.

Buying for beginners : Sign up on www. ebay .co. uk . Most items（e.g. tables , computers , and books）ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description ; others may be marked with “ Buy It Now ” and have a fixed price . You can buy these right away .

If the item is being auctioned , you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids（出价）for you . The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid , then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again . Auctions last up to 10 days and when they finish you get an email telling you whether you have won the item .

How to pay : Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a cheque or postal orders . The easiest way is through PayPal , an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card（信用卡）.

Selling made simple : If you plan to sell on eBay , it helps to include a picture of the item . I followed my friends’ advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction , starting on a Thursday . This way buyers had two weekends to bid .

The big things in life : It’s easy to post a small item , but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collected or sent by deliverymen . Check the ways of delivery before you bid .
