About Guides

Guides enable eBay members to share their expertise on any topic or category. Whatever your interest or expertise, you can write a guide on it. Possible topics include:
  • How to Plan the Perfect Holiday
  • Tips on Decorating your baby's nursery
  • The Essential DVD Collection
  • The best designer jeans

Write & Share: Guides allow you to be creative in both the topic and design of the page. Writers can insert pictures, special formatting, eBay links, and headings.

Guides can be voted on by readers. The most popular guides may appear on the Buying Guides Home page.

Share your expertise and write a guide.

Read & Learn: Guides help readers learn about almost any topic or product category. There are two types of Guides: eBay Guides and member guides. eBay Guides are either written by eBay or eBay partners and always appear with an eBay logo.

Member guides are written by eBay members. You can vote on them using the "Was this guide helpful?" button. Guides with the most votes are shown as the "Most Helpful Member Guides."
