Search

You can search for a particular item using keyword search or advanced search.

Keyword Search:

Simply type in what you are looking for in the Search text box, located at the top of the page and click 'Search'. You can choose to search within all categories or restrict your search to within a particular category by selecting the category from the drop down menu first. As you start to type your search term you will notice some search suggestions display in a drop down below the search box. These are based on the most popular searches others have searched for recently. By selecting one of these options you can save yourself having to type out your entire search term.

Tips:

Be as specific about the item as possible, and combine words in order to cover as many descriptions of the item as possible.

Advanced Search:

Advanced search is located next to keyword search at the top of the page. This function allows you to be very specific in your search, with details like price, type of listing, item condition and warranty options.
