Back To School Shopping on eBay Made Easy
How to find all the items you need for a smooth back to school experience
Save time, gas and headaches trying to find all those hard to find school items. Everything your child needs for school can be found from the comfort of your home.
I remember fighting the crowd at the last minute for college paper. Going from store to store trying to find those hard-to-find items can drive anyone crazy. Now parents can sit back, relax and shop on eBay for all the school supplies they need and even pick up a few nice back-to-school outfits too.
Basic School Supplies List:
- No.2 Pencils
- Glue sticks (at least 3 for the year)
- Scissors:blunt end for younger kids, pointy for older ones.
- Ballpoint Pens
- Colored Pencils
- Pencil Sharpener
- Pink Eraser
- Washable Markers
- White Glue,4oz
- Highlighters
- Spiral Notebooks
- 3-Ring Binder
- Notebook Paper Note: Teachers can be picky about paper. Schools usually supply specially ruled handwriting paper to help younger children with letter formation. Older children use wide-ruled paper. High school — and some middle school — students will need the college-ruled variety.
- Pocket Folders
- Calculator
- Crayons
- Pencil Case
- Kids Backpack
The basic list above will get you started. Notice how easy it is to find what you're looking for at eBay. Another bonus of eBay shopping is you can find unique and hard-to-find items. Your child will be the hit of school with that rare pencil case only found on eBay!

Danna,
I'm certainly going to use this advice next year! My children are in year round school, so they start in early July (when very few stores have their school supplies out). Though I don't have to fight the Back-To-School crowd, I have a hard time finding everything that I need in the stores. Thanks for the great idea!

Thanks Jillian for your post and for stopping by.
Many people don't realize all the sorts of items that are available on eBay 24/7. Back to school supplies are no exception. Where else can you find that one-of-a-kind lunch box?
And how nice for you with your children in year round school. I love that concept.
Do hope our paths cross again! Blessings, Danna
