Rate: (0 Ratings)

eBay is a comprehensive marketplace where items are auctioned to either the highest bidder or to those who want to pay the "Buy It Now" price when this option is available. You can find a cheap iPod on eBay once you've determined whether you want a new or used iPod and how long you're willing to wait to get it. These steps assume you are a registered member.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy
Step1
Log on to eBay using your username and password.
Step2
Click on "Consumer Electronics" in the left panel on eBay's home page.
Step3
Select "Apple iPod" from the categories listed on the Consumer Electronics page. This is located in the first section of the first column.
Step4
Make your selection from the various choices in the "MP3 Players Finder" in the left panel. Select "Apple iPod" under Brand, assuming you are searching for a genuine iPod. If you have any other specifications, choose them and then select "Show Items."
Step5
Opt for "Price + Shipping: Lowest First" under the "Sort By" menu on the right side of the screen.
Step6
Browse until you find a cheap iPod within your price range with the specifications you selected in Step 4.
Step7
Bid on the selected cheap iPod or use "Buy It Now" to make an immediate purchase.

Tips & Warnings

  • You can try eBay as a guest by using "Buy It Now" for up to two purchases. However, you must register to bid on auctions.
  • By searching the "Buy It Now" categories under the newly listed iPods, you can often find the lowest prices before other bidders purchase them.
  • You can often get better prices when bidding on auctions between the hours of 12 and 5 in the morning.
