Shopping online nowadays is very convenient and fast for everyone. There’re many website that allow customers to shop online and eBay.com is not an exception. Shopping on eBay is simple just like we go to the market and buy a product, even though it has some differences. And below is the most common way for us to shopping on eBay.com
First, create an account and then you can do shopping in eBay.
Then, find out the products. Type the name of the product you want in the Search box lying upper most in the eBay’s homepage. Besides, eBay always has advanced searching instrument in order to help customer to find product easily. If you want to use this function, you just type the name of product in the “Search title and description” box. You can choose the latest or cheapest product in the “Sort by” category.
Next, read carefully all the information of the product. Because each seller has a different product’s information, we need to find out carefully about what seller talk about the product such as payment methods, delivery, tax, … if you have any question not clear, just click the button “Ask seller a question” before buying.
Fourth, consider the reliability of the seller. EBay builds the “image” of the seller and the buyer through the level of success and the reliability by feedback. So, before going on a deal, we need to consider that source whether it’s trusted or not.
After that, bid or buy it now. EBay allows sellers to advertise their products to buyers to “buy it now” –customer can’t bargain or give another price to the seller because of the fixed price, or “bid” – where customer can bargain the price and take the product with the lowest price.
Finally, pay and deliver. Sellers usually send the buyer the notification email and insist on the buyer to send them the payment as they had requested.

  1. Dear Linh,
    After having read your essay, I have some comments:
    In general, your essay is quite good. It can help the readers imagine some steps which they need to follow when buying a product online. However, the biggest mistake is that it doesn’t have the conclusion to restate something you mentioned. There are some minor mistakes including plural, word choices in your essay. Moreover, in the 1st stage, you should show more details about how to create an account of ebay. Lastly, to be sufficient, the final stage also should show some payment methods.
    I hope that some points I give above can be helpful for you to revise in the 2nd version! Try more.

  3. Hi Linh, I have some comments for you after I've read your process essay about shopping online:
    Your writing is quite good. It is very informatic and its structure is very clear.But what i think you should pay attention is the expression. For example, on the 12th line, u wrote "we need to find out carefully about...". Normally we can just search or look into something carefully, "find out" is after u have searched or looked for something already. What's more, there are some grammatical mistakes such as "each seller has a different product’s information" (information is uncountable noun), "what seller talk about the product" (S and V agreement), "insist on the buyer to send them" (insist someone on Ving is the correct structure)
    These are my comments for your writing. I hope they will help you to improve your writing skill in the 2nd draft!
