Browsing for products

Perhaps you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for every time you visit eBay? Some people love to ‘window shop’ for hours on end, hoping to encounter that unexpected treasure or bargain. You can also browse eBay for items by clicking on one of the category links on the eBay homepage.

Browse categories

The most popular categories are listed beneath the eBay logo, or you can click Browse by category to see all options (see figure 4.1). In the category pop-up, make sure you click the See all categories link to view every one.

Often what is displayed to you will relate to your previous eBay activities, and in future most of what you see will be tailored to your individual likes. Figure 1.1, for example, features watches and jewellery, whereas figure 1.8, displays popular electronic devices such as the iPad.
