It’s no secret I love fashion, and it’s also no secret I love high-end items and brands (sorry honey!) but, the high-end items can get well, expensive.
Over the years, I have learned how to shop my name brand items at a steal! A lot of my high-end items I get at 30%-50% off, sometimes even more. I keep telling Jordan I’m saving money, haha!
So how do I score such sweet deals? Easy, I shop at eBay. Rocket science right?! LOL, JK.
In all seriousness, eBay has always been the place to shop high-end brands and items at a fraction of the cost for me. eBay has every brand, price point, season, and style you can think of. 85% of the items you see on eBay are brand-new products. And, if you’re anything like me, auctioning for an item makes you nervous, you can skip auctioning and instantly buy items with a single click!
Shopping for eBay can seem overwhelming, but I wanted to share with you a few of my tips and how to make shopping easy peasy!
- Know the name of the item you are looking for. eBay has a great search engine, all you have to do is type the name of the item (be descriptive) and voila! If you need to add filters, then do so!
- Know what condition you want your item. I personally like things NWT (new with tags, or box) or new without box.
- Use the buy it now option. I have found that you spend less money on the buy it now option vs. going back and forth with someone else.
- Pay attention to the seller information. How many ratings do they have? What kind of feedback are others leaving? Those rating matter, and are crucial to look at it. I won’t shop or buy something from someone who doesn’t have good ratings.
- Lastly, does the seller offer returns? I would hate to be in a pickle where I spent a lot of money, and now I am stuck with that item.
Once you get the hang of my simple tips above shopping at eBay becomes a breeze! eBay has everything on trend for each season, and endless options for authentic luxury items.

I’ve never shopped on eBay at all (it’s just not that popular where I live – I know!), much less for name brands! But it seems like a great idea. Thanks for the tips, Elly. 🙂
