Registration is required, but free. If you wish to sell there are several options. You can sell your item at auction, fixed price, ad format. It is so easy to do. Ebay takes you through the whole process, step-by-step. You can also open your own store, (a basic store is $15.95 per month, you may upgrade to the next level at $49.95 per month) if you have a lot of things to sell. A store enables you to sell items in a buy now format, and the sell inventory format, as well as the formats listed above. The fees for the sell inventory have just been raised, to encourage more listings the original auction style format. To open store you have to have a PayPal account, this makes it so much easier to get paid, as well as offering a secure place for your customers to pay for purchases. They charge a small fee, when you sell an item. If you have questions, ebay is very helpful when you need an issue resolved. All in all the fees are quite small. There are also many tools that can be used to help you get sales.
If you wish to buy items that are offered at ebay, you must also register, which is free. You may then browse through the pages, and shop for items. There is a search bar, if there is a particular item you are interested in purchasing. The items are either in an active auction, fixed price, or bid now. If you are interested go there to form your own opinions. I love it.

eBay is an online auction place.
if you want to buy, type the specific brand/model of the item you need or click the general names then click on a specific item sold. there is a set minimum price. if you like the item, click on "Bid" and then type your maximum bid.
eBay will bid up to your max. bid and then you win the item. you can pay in many ways. it depends on the seller.
if someone else places a higher bid, you lose the item.
as for selling, it's much longer. just read the instructions on the site itself.
good luck.

eBay makes their money off of people who sell. When you list an item for auction, you pay a listing fee which varies depending on the price. You also pay fees for other features, such as Buy It Now, Reserved Price, extra pictures on the listing, etc. Finally, when it sells, you pay a fee based on the final sales price.
I believe they make money if it is paid for through PayPal as well.

eBay is an aution site, with buy now funtion on some purchases. Basically, you choose a product, select bid, if by the time it expires, you still bid last, you get the product.
Also, you can set a limilt as to how much you would wager.
