Tips for buying antique furniture on eBay

August 22, 2008

Buying anything on eBay can be tricky, increasingly people are buying larger items on eBay including antique furniture. When purchasing these items from eBay it is a good idea to check the auction description carefully. I have written a guide/checklist (below) to make sure you check the important aspects of the items details:

#1 Read the item description carefully

Read the items description thoroughly, if they mention damage, scratches or marks stay well-clear unless you are in the business of restoring old furniture- in that case this is probably what you are looking for!

#2 Check the delivery options

Furniture is heavy and therefore costs a lot to post so it is important to check the cost (if postage is necessary) preferably it is advisable to collect the item from the seller as it will reduce costs significantly.

#3 Seller feedback

Check the feedback of the seller, feedback is a good way of seeing how reliable and accurate a seller is. If you’re spending £5,000 on Antique Dining Tables, you want to make sure the seller is reliable.
