What do I have to do to be able to purchase an item from EBAY ? I was looking at a pair of shoes that said buy now and when I clicked on it nothing happened.Can you give me step by step instructions on how to make a purchase from EBAY. Or do I have to be a member in order to purchase from EBAY.Thank you for your help .

Ebay if you dont have an account you will need to create one
https://scgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?RegisterEnterInfo
Add Email adress
Add Bank Acc
Add Credit Card
also add your postal adress
also add a paypal account

when you get to the paypal login page at the bottom you will see new to paypal sign up tab
paypal to create an account
paypal registration password ,bank card /credit card,phone numbers home/mobile ,email adress and a postal adress
http://www.paypal.com/

be very specific when you type in the search
always ask questions? before you make a purchase and keep the email/s for security reasons if the item arrives and its not as described

you will even see the pictures of your item so you cant make a mistake and get them home delivered

hope this helps you

Buy Now would only work if there are no bids on the item. Once there is a bid, you have to place a bid within the alotted time and wait to see if your bid wins. Buy Now allows you to buy at the listed price... no chance to get a lower price. Note however, that sometimes the listed price is the best on the marketing. Do your research before buying on Ebay. Hope this helps.
