Our chat rooms are friendly, relaxed places where you can talk with other eBay members in a casual setting. Posting in chat rooms gives you more than a chance to talk, it’s also a way to increase your sales – with each post, you’ll get a link for “listings.” We have two kinds of chat rooms:
General chat rooms: Talk about everything from your favorite holiday memories to our newest features.
Category-specific chat rooms: You can meet thousands of other collectors with interests in antiques, coins, jewelry and more.

Select the chat room that interests you.
Click the Post a Message button, type your message in the box, and click the Save my Message! Button.
Chat rooms only hold 200 postings at a time. As new postings are added, old ones disappear. Post at a time when you can stay a bit to chat with others, as posts may disappear quickly.
Note: You can’t use chat rooms to buy, sell, or trade – just chat!
