Do Your Research

Do Your Research

After browsing through the Beauty & Health category and deciding on what you want, the next step is to bid fo the product. Before you place your bid, it's a good idea to do some basic research. Below are some tips on what to look for and questions to ask when you are thinking about buying a Beauty & Health item:

• Read the item description carefully: Good sellers will include as much information about the product as possible, including the shade, size, and benefits.

• Note any information about expiration dates and warnings: Beauty & Health products such as skincare often have an expiration date while other products like dietary supplements and vitamins may include health warnings. Read the descriptions or simply send the seller an email with your questions. These information are usually included in the item decription but if you are unsure, make sure you check with the seller before placing your bid.   

• Examine the pictures: Most sellers will include several pictures of the item, taken from different angles and distances. Look through these pictures carefully to determine the condition of the item and, if you are purchasing makeup, the colours and shades. Over 75% of the products sold on eBay Australia are new and unused - often brand new and in box - so rest assure that you are receiving the same product as sold in retail stores. 

• Research the seller: It is very important to check the feedback score of the seller and to take the time to read the comments left by other users. You might also want to check out other items he/she have listed or browse through his/her store to get a sense of what to expect.

• Ask questions: Do not hesitate to ask for more information if you still have questions after reading the item description. You want to feel secure and happy with your purchase, so take advantage of the "Ask the seller a question" link.
