There are many different ways to search for your office chair and purchase through eBay.
You can use the eBay search keyword box and enter "office chair" or for more specific styles, you can input a variety of additional words.
Mesh chairs, executive traditional, leather and ergonomic are all popular search terms.
Simply press the search button and eBay will automatically show you a variety of choices and models to choose from with the option of buying from an auction listing or from a fixed price listing in an eBay Store.
Today, December 8,2005 when inputting the term office chair on eBay's Homepage, I was able to pull up 735 different listings and 1365 listings in eBay Stores with 216 different online eBay stores carrying office chairs.
Some of these eBay Stores had hundreds of models to choose from in chairs alone, not to mention the furniture and supplies also offered on most sites.
Even when searching for a chair on eBay, it is apparent that with the upgrades made to this top auction shopping site, there are even several different ways to shop.
You can try the auction style listings and bid on an item and hope that in the end you are the winning bidder and have placed the highest bid closest to the end of auction.
This can be more time consuming, can lead to prices going higher than normal due to aggressive bidding wars and delays the shipping of the chair to you.
You do need to remember that sometimes, if you have the time, while no one is paying attention, you might find that great auction deal and not be outbid, winning your chair at a small fraction of the regular price.
So it is said that auction style listings and the thrill that can come from bidding on an item has it's charms too.
Another method of search on eBay is to use the eBay Store Pages.
With easy to search listings, custom ordered items, and purchase now, pay now options, these sites have the look and feel of any online shopping site.
Each eBay store has their own store home page and site with store policies.
You can find these stores on the left hand navigation bar on the eBay Home Page or at the bottom of the regular lisitngs in a display box.
These stores, while also having more listings and products than the standard auction ads on eBay for office chairs, also have the highest in feedback ratings and customer service satisfaction guarantees.
You can compare prices, purchase directly through the Buy It Now option, pay directly through Paypal immediately and have the item shipped to you quickly.
Most stores feature a chair guarantee and should have a return policy clearly stated on their listing.
eBay stores tend to be run by eBay Powersellers, which puts them a step above the rest when it comes to proven customer satisfaction and high sales volume with the best shipping prices available.
Many different pricing discounts can be found on eBay and with quoting from eBay sellers for quantity discounts, you should be able to find the best price possible for what you are looking for.
No matter which search method you use, auction or stores, to find that perfect chair on eBay only takes a little time and effort.
