Buying as a guest lets you try shopping on eBay without registering as an eBay member. You can make up to 15 purchases using Buy It Now before you’ll need to upgrade by registering as an eBay member.

Guest buying has these additional limits:

• The price of the item can be no more than $2000.

• The item’s seller needs to have a Feedback score of 50 or higher and a positive rating of 98% or more.

• The item can be purchased using Buy It Now, not auction-style.

• Payments need to be made with a credit card processed by one of our preferred electronic payment methods, such as PayPal or ProPay.

Once you register, you can:

• Track your orders.

• Save time on your next purchase.

• Bid on auction-style listings.

• Leave Feedback for the sellers of items you’ve purchased.

• Use My eBay to manage your account and buying activities.

• Write a review or guide for the Reviews & Guides section of eBay.

• Create a Want It Now post and tell millions of sellers what you’re looking for.

• Create your own About Me page.

• Access eBay Community resources, including Discussion Boards, Groups, and Answer Center Forums.

• Contact eBay for help with your account (for example, if you’ve forgotten your password or forgotten your user ID).

• Use our Resolution Center for help resolving any transaction problems with a seller.
