I answered a couple before, you set up a Paypal account if you have money, you can send cash or a cheque.

There is a "Time left" on every auction so you know.

It takes as many days to ship as anything else would (considering complications)

Click on the seller's name and click on his comments :)

most sellers are specific in how they want you to pay ...all accept money orders...most accept paypal. Paypal can llink direct to yoru checking/savings...credit card is not needed. If you pay by money order, the seller wont ship until reciept of funds...may delay delivery. Method of delivery will dictate travel time to USA vs Canada.

Make sure they seller has good rating...the more transactions the better...
watch out for folks that will gouge you with shipping and handling.....dont forget to include shipping MENTALLY when placing bids.

where can u set up that paypal account? when u go on "register" theres a paypal option?

and the time left on every auction, i know this, by lets say theres 1000 pages of the item i want, does it means the 1000th page will be the one with the less time left?

thx

Yeah, somewhere near the top it should say "Set up a Paypal account"

Also, next to the picture of the item you want it should tell you how long is left, not sure how you see the price that was just bid, never use ebay.

the rating should be by his name, and it will have like a legend or something. and you can check his feed back and stuff
