Does anyone know how to use eBay? Like when should I bid on items, should I get PayPal, etc?

There's a guitar I really want but I have no idea how it works!!! Any help would be great!

Paypal is your best bet because it guarentees that if the seller pokes out on you and doesn't send the stuff he ought, you get your money back.

As for bidding... Ebay can do it for you. Make an account, login, then click bid on this item. You have to go to the items main page for that. Then, enter the MAX amount you would be willing to pay. Ebay will then up your bid until you either win the item, or your max is beaten by someone else.

Ebay also sends emails to let you know if you've been outbid, or if you've won.

Wait until just before the auction is about to end to bid, so you don't start a bidding war and drive the price up.

PayPal makes it a lot easier. Just click a couple buttons and your done. Sure beats having to get a money order, mail it, and wait for the seller to get it.
