Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Step 1

Find the website of the manufacturer of your PDA. They should have all of the accessories that are available for your particular model along with prices.
Step 2

Print out the page of any accessories that are available for your PDA and model. Not all models will have the same accessories, so be sure to verify it is available for your specific model.
Step 3

Visit the websites of all the main electronic and department stores in your area. Search for the accessories you are interested in and write down the price at each store.
Step 4

Decide how much money you want to spend. If you are limited, choose one or more accessories to buy based on your personal needs.
Step 5

Jump to the main auction sites. EBay and Amazon are good ones to check out. Search for the accessories by either description or model number to see if there are any available on these sites. You can find some good deals on these sites if you take your time and look.
Step 6

Make a purchase once you have carefully made your decision. Use a credit or debit card for the fastest processing. Select the least expensive shipping method unless you need expedited service.

Tips & Warnings

Read the specifications carefully. The descriptions and specifications can be rather long, but you might miss something important if you do not read all the details.
When searching the store sites, look for special packages and deals that may give you more product for your money.
Never buy something off an auction site unless you are confident in the seller. Look for high ratings and good feedback. Also, read their negative feedback to see what kinds of problems they have had and to see how recently these problems occurred.
