There are two ways to buy items on eBay:
- Auction. This is actually what the platform is famous for. The seller lists an item with a minimum price at which they're willing to sell it, and users place bids, outbidding each other. Whoever places the last bid becomes the happy buyer.
- Buy it Now. A regular purchase, just like in any store. No need to wait, place bids, or haggle. You pay for the purchase — you get the item.

eBay USA: How to Buy Goods from America
On eBay, as on any other aggregator, you can run into dishonest sellers. But avoiding them is very simple if you follow a few principles:
- Check the seller’s rating, look at their profile, and read reviews — preferably for the exact item you plan to buy. The ratio of positive to negative feedback can be considered the probability that you will be satisfied with your purchase.
- Expensive items are best purchased from sellers with the “Top Rated Seller” badge.
- Study the photos and carefully read exactly what is being sold (if it’s a smartphone, what condition is it in? Will the original earphones and packaging be included?). eBay always refunds your money if the item you receive does not match the description.
If you have checked all these points, you don’t need to worry about the quality of the item. In recent years eBay has spent billions of dollars maintaining a good image while competing with Amazon. Previously there were plenty of fakes on the site, but now they are carefully removed, and shopping on today’s eBay has become much safer than on any Chinese marketplace.
Placing an order on eBay is very simple. You don’t even have to register. Just click Buy it Now and choose the Check out as guest option. You will immediately be taken to the address entry window.
One nuance: no one will ship to Russia (and if they do, it will be at completely unfair rates). You need a U.S. address and a package-forwarding company, preferably one with its own warehouse and delivery system from the States. There’s nothing easier: register on Pochtoy.com and you immediately get the ability to shop at U.S. online stores as if you lived in the USA yourself. Plus — convenient, fast and very affordable delivery from eBay to Russia from America.
When you register on Prostobox you instantly receive a personal U.S. address, which you will need to enter on eBay. Simply copy it from your Pochtoy.com account. Enter the phone number without hyphens. Use the same first and last name you registered with on our site. By these details (and the Ste number) we will know the package is yours.
After entering the address, select a payment method (PayPal or bank card), pay for the item, confirm your choice, and complete the transaction. Within a few days the seller will send you a tracking number by email so you can follow your package’s journey.
Ebay.com USA ways to buy goods with delivery from the USA
In the last couple of years, eBay has been actively trying to get rid of the “only auction” stigma. Therefore, the instant purchase option is becoming more and more popular — just like in any other online store. For example, out of 70 thousand offers to buy different iPhone models, 50 thousand are Buy it Now. In our experience, the majority of clients who regularly order delivery from the USA with eBay through us also prefer this option.
You can select the desired purchase scenario in the upper part of the page with your search results. The most trusted sellers also usually appear at the top. And on the left side of the window, you can filter the selection by numerous characteristics. For example, view items only below a certain price, only the desired color, or only new items that have not been used before.
The easiest purchase and delivery from the USA to Russia from eBay
Stores do not send orders directly from America to Russia. Therefore, you need an address in the USA to which they can ship the item without any issues. So before you place an order for clothes from America via the Internet, you need to register with us. We will give you a personal address in the USA so we can enter it during purchase. Then Prostobox.com accepts your package at its warehouse, it appears in your personal account, and you can choose any of the five shipping methods to send the item to the RF. It’s that simple.
What to do if payment is not accepted?
For clients whose official site ebay.com USA rejects payments and cards, we offer to use the service of purchasing orders from American stores for Russia and Ukraine. In this case the fee starts from $10 per lot. You can pay via the personal account in rubles or paypal.
