Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Log on to eBay. Sign in to your eBay account using your user name and password, or create a new account if you're a first time use. Type "radar detector" into the eBay search bar. Press "Enter" and wait for the page to load entirely before browsing.
Step2
Search through all the radar detectors available. Condense your search if needed by clicking a link to the left, indicating the exact type of radar detector you're looking for on eBay.
Step3
Set a budget. Expect a new Cobra XRS-9830 radar detector to run about 150 dollars and a wireless Bel STI radar detector with integrated Cheetah GPS mirror to be around 750 dollars on eBay, but you never know when you'll come across a great deal on eBay so check frequently.
Step4
Compare all aspects of each radar detector that sparks interest at the website. Check each seller's return policy, product and shipping costs, location and approximate waiting period before receiving the radar detector.
Step5
Read each seller's feedback to determine if they're a trustworthy merchant. Check for negative or neutral feedback, which is an excellent resource found on eBay's website. Steer clear of buying a radar detector from sellers with negative feedback.
Step6
Make your final decision on the radar detector that best meets your needs. Click the "Buy It Now" or "Bid" link at the top and bottom of the listing. To bid, type in the highest amount you're willing to pay for the radar detector and monitor the auction closely, especially right before the auction ends. You can always revise your bid.
Step7
Wait for the auction to end on eBay. If you won the radar detector then you must pay for the transaction. Each of you will leave feedback for each other based on the transaction such as how fast you pay and how accurate the seller's description of the item was.
