How to Do a Search for Items With Zero Bids on eBay

Using advanced search helps you navigate the world's largest garage sale.

EBay is a popular site for bargain hunters. Shoppers sift through page after page of merchandise daily in search of deals. Finding exactly what you're looking for can sometimes be difficult. The "Sort by" bar at the top of the default category listing offers several options for quick searches. Finding items that haven't been bid on yet requires a few more mouse clicks.

Instructions

1. Navigate to the eBay website. Type "www.ebay.com" into your browser's address bar and press the "Enter" key.

2. Enter a description of the item you're looking for in the search bar at the top of the main page. Then click on the "Search" button or press the "Enter" key.

3. Click the "Advanced" label immediately to the right of the "Search" button when the category page is loaded. An advanced search page for the listed category appears on your screen. Several options are available at this point.

4. Scroll down the page. Under the heading "Show results," click the box next to "Number of bids from:" and enter "0" in both the "from" and "to" boxes.

5. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Search" button to load the results on a fresh page.

Tips & Warnings

• Other options are available on the advanced search page. Sorting by "Ending Soonest" and selecting "Free shipping" may increase your chances of picking up a bargain.
