How to Search

You can search for any items without using quotes in your query. Letter case is not needed either. Using the term: apple ipod for instance will return the same results as "Apple iPod".


Purchasing items listed with PoundBelow

The auction bargain items returned open directly to the eBay UK website so you'll need to be a current eBay account member to purchase any items of interest. New users can Join eBay UK here. There is no charge to join.


Does the bid price reflect the buy-it-now price?

If an item has a 'Buy it Now' button only, then the listed price will be the actual buy price. With both the 'Bid Now and 'Buy it Now' buttons present, the listed price will be the current live bid price. The buy it now prices in this instance are traditionally higher, but are still often listed as items for a pound or less.
