Shopping on eBay is a great way to find items. I am here to tell you
how to find even more items and it comes down to two words... eBay
Stores.
Some of you probably know what eBay Stores are. Anyone who sells on eBay can have an eBay store. And eBay stores are NOT run by eBay, but people like you and me.
When you do a search, eBay shows you the auctions and fixed price items, they do NOT show you eBay Store items. I am here to teach you a couple ways to find them and broaden your search results.

Different Ways To Find eBay Stores:
1. Search Options
When you do a search, on the left hand side of the screen you will see an area that says "Search Options". Search options include Location and Show Only. Under Show Only you will find "All items included in Store Inventory Items. Check this box and click "Show Items".
You can also add a sellers store to your favorites list and always be able to find them quickly. Each eBay Store is different and there are many wonderful Stores out there on eBay. When you add eBay Stores to your search, you will be opened up to a whole new world and so many more items to pick from.
Also, when you are searching through items if you see a seller with a little red door next to their name, you know they have a eBay Store. You can also click on that little red door and it will take you to that sellers eBay store.
I hope this guide helps and have fun shopping!!

do your search that way. But this will only show you Store Inventory

3. eBay Stores on eBay Home Page
When
you first click on the eBay home site, you will see Specialty Sites.
Under that you can click on eBay Stores and it will take you to a link
that you can find any eBay store and also search for items that way.

start.

This is my favorite way to search
probably cause it is one of the easiest ways. Many of you may not have
noticed this link before. When you do a search on eBay, scroll almost
all the ways down and you will find this link (right under the page
count when searching for items). Just click on this and away you go!
