eBay eBay is truly a great website. It is a site where you can buy and sell pretty much any item you can think of either as an old fashioned auction, or like a regular shop. As the buyer you can find some great little bargins and normally you find items cheaper than they would be in a shop. As the seller, you can get rid of your old junk and you know someone will be interested in buying it. As seller you are liable for listing fee's, sale fee's and usually paypal take a chunk of you earnings as well. So overall this isn't particularly great for the seller. I would definitely reccomend trying to flog stuff at a car boot ahead of using eBay for most ...  Read the complete review

There is no better marketplace than Ebay as everyone just about uses it so you always get the best deals on here. My membership with Ebay has been about a year long but it has come with some problems. Last month I tried to sell a few items on Ebay and they were actually giving me hassle when selling some of my PS3 games on the website. The stupid thing was they asked me to provide them with a supplier! Why would they want that for? I was just selling my old games on the site! They did solve the problem at the end but why in the first place even ask! Another issue has been buying items of certain sellers who have not even shipped the items yet.

I have untill recently been able to avoid the draw of Ebay. I believe that in this economy we need to support our local business. However even the stongest person can be persuaded to do the one thing they have sworn off. My laptop quit working and I was in need of some quick cash to get it fixed. I searched and it seemed that Ebay was the only way I was gonna be able to make a large amount of money quickly. So I gathered up a few items took pictures and sat down getting ready to post up some auctions. I had the items right in front of me so to give a accurate description of the items. Once the page was fully loaded I realized that there were ...  Read the complete review

eBay, it seems like whenever I read reviews on eBay these days, they seem to be negative and warn you to steer clear and go elsewhere, like Amazon or lesser known auction sites. Well eBay is still an excellent place to find or sell things, however you have to be extremely cautious and meticulous about how you present things and in researching a seller's history before you place a bid - because if you're not looking for certain things, you'll end up being robbed or with a defective product. eBay now allows you to receive or make payments through PayPal,which is great. I use it. BUT.. now you have 2 charges - the eBay charge for your sales, plus the PayPal ...  Read the complete review

Where once ebay was a fantastic place to buy and sell with a great degree of flexibility for its buyers and sellers, it has now become as dull as dishwater. This is mainly in part down to many sellers migrating across to ebid.net. Since ebay acquired paypal things have just got worse and worse. Sellers are now forced to offer paypal, which although this APPEARS great for the customer, the reality is that ebay are getting two lots of fees from the sellers. This means sellers hike their prices to cover the fees ebay and paypal charge them. It is now like a ghost town there, and all that is left are the big sellers. An analogy - ...  Read the complete review
