I need help, any experienced online shoppers in the house?

Hello to all, I have never done any shopping online but I need to find a good bargain on a dog cage. I just adopted a furball and need an outdoor cage or penn where I can play with him outside without worrying about him running to the street. Sooooo, how do I E-bay, internet shop? Or is there anyone out there selling theirs???? Please love ya's, Johanna -67

ooooo! I love ebay!! Jus****ch out...there is a side effect of using ebay...Warning label reads: "WARNING! Upon first use of ebay, it may become addictive! You may begin to notice your bank account dwindling and your house filling up with goodies from all over the country that you may never use. However, a positive side effect is that you may uncover some unbelievable artifacts for rather remarkable prices." hehehe. Ebay is awesome, just go to ebay.com (add www. of course) and sign up...you have to have a credit card or checking account I believe, and also sign up for paypal because it is the EASIEST and safest way to pay for your item quickly. Make sure you read everything on an item you are bidding on, as some items are not in good shape or are missing parts or the seller's only take certain forms of payment (However, paypal is most common.) Also, click on the seller's name and you can read their feedback from other customers. I never buy from someone that does not have any feedback, or from someone that has a lot of negative feedback. Usually I try to buy from a "power seller" and you'll know one when you see them because it states it in their feedback section by their seller name. Once you are signed up for ebay, just type in what you are searching for and a bunch of the items will pop up with how minutes are remaining on the bid. It's pretty self explanatory once you are signed up. Good luck and I hope you enjoy your new friend!!!!!! -Phoenix 287/246/150

Johanna- A couple of questions. Are we talking about a puppy? How large of area do you want to enclose. I assume a pretty good size area if you want to play with him in it. If it is a puppy, why not just go to home depot or Lowe's and get some gardening fence. You know the kind that people put up around flower beds and such. It is not very expensive and it will do until you get your little beastie trained or get a permanent fence installed. In order to get a run or cage large enough for you and your dog to really play is probably going to have to be pretty big and pretty pricey. I shop on line but I never do the ebay thing. I find good bargains from reputable merchants and then I do not have to worry about quality, or return policies, etc. Try doing a google search for the item for which you are looking.
