Advantages: A good way for buyers & sellers to meet, Bargains to be had!
Disadvantages: Can be addictive, You can be "sniped" or beaten at the last minute
I recently got introduced to Ebay by my husband as he was hunting for Computer parts to upgrade our PC.
Basically ebay is an online auction sight that brings buyers and sellers together.
Now you may be like me and be somewhat sceptical about this method of buying goods, afterall you have to go on a desciption of the goods and if you are lucky a picture.
As I was flicking through the site I realised that this was a way for me to get back into coin collecting.
Ebay allows members to comment on the service that you get from any buyer or seller and I believe this is a good way to check who you are buying from.
The site itself is very comprehensive. There are a wide range of categories. Ebay would advocate that you should bid the highest amount that you are willing to pay, although I have sometimes felt that if a bidder is beaten in the last minute (or the last 10 seconds!!) the previous high bidder should be allowed to up the bid if they wish - afterall the internet can be a slow beast at times.
From my experience so far most people are reputable and have a fast and effiecient service, but as ever some may not be.
There is always a risk but more often than not it is worth the risk.

- 03/09/01 Sorry to only rate Useful but I felt you only gave the vague outline of the site and didnt go into enough detail about your experiences. Have you had your goods sent on time? Have you sold anything on ebay? Have you ever had to call ebay if something didnt arrive? How good is their service and help? Things like this are what are really needed and wont usually be provided in any ebay adverts etc... Keep trying, Steve |
