Waiting to receive my shipment from eBay!

Looking forward to receiving my earring from ebay which has already been shipped to my address many days ago. I obviously paid for it and now its on its way to me, its owner, so wont this make me really excited? also because its the first time buying something or rather shopping online and that too from ebay! while browsing, bidding and losing, i won this fasion jewelery earring i bid on. I'm not keen on bidding anymore as of now, at least not until i receive this item. I'll rather use the buy it now option than the bidding option because it hardly matters. I don't find bidding too much of a profit option unless a person bids for fun. If you begin bidding by 1 paisa or $1, and the bidding may stretch for 3 to 10 days, but by the time the bidding ends, you will be paying the same what you would pay to buy the item directly. So just be careful while bidding esp if its only for fun. Though i may advice 'you' my friends, i'm a first time eBay buyer myself, and always looking out for honest opinions to improve my online shopping experience :)

Bidding on ebay can be fun but be careful folks

Surfing on eBay is my latest pastime and interest! i was surfing some gold sites one year ago and was redirected to eBay where i recollect almost getting into hot water on the site for bidding on items and not meeting their obligations. but once again my interest has surfaced and this time i will pay them and get the product shipped to my mailing address. eBay hasn't asked me to review them... lol.. i'm like too over excited at the latest bids i made which i've also got to pay for an item i won! i lost on the fine jewelery i bid on, but did win a last minute Silver Dangle Earring and red heart charm necklace. I cracked two great deals i hope.

Bidding is fun, but you mustn't bid on items you are least interested to buy, or without browsing multiple stores selling similar items in case you might land up having to pay for something you didn't want or didn't care to check out well before bidding. You may want to request the advertiser to withdraw or cancel the bid if it was done on accident or you are not willing to pay but it all depends on the advertiser if he/she will understand you and let you go, because once you bid you are tied to a legal contract which makes you obligated to pay. Most of them i believe are reluctant to withdraw bids and they can sue you if you refuse to pay, so always be careful if you are bidding just for fun! Fun leads to accidents which further lead to troubles! got me? :)

Shopping on Ebay is fun and pastime- yet am in need your opinions

I have started to bid on eBay! and more than that, i love watching the bids as they rise to weird heights just for nothing good or maybe sometimes somthing great??.. what i mean is that someone people are willing to spend money like water to buy a simple bead, just because it was being auctioned on eBay and people assume that anything sold on the site is always valuable at any cost..

I don't mean to offend because i've also seen the pros, other than the cons about bidding or buying from the site.. i've seen good products going for good prices too! But i still don't understand what clicks on eBay, and as everyone knows everything that glitters is not gold! Sometimes they sell beautiful pieces of jewellery at such low rates with impressing description about the each piece of it but i wonder which of the products are worth it.. which are not.. its upto you to help me at this:)

Which of these, catches your eye instantly? This is just for my personal information..

1. The free shipping items.. are they always worth it?

2. Auctions going for $1, and free shipping.. worth it?

3. EMI way of payment.. Do they charge extra on the total?

4. Which seller on eBay international and eBay India is the best?

5. Best eBay store in any category you like most..
