Ebay launched in 1995 and it has grown into the one of the most recognizable internet sites in the world. Many people revert to ebay nowadays to find the latest bargains rather than get off their bums and go to the high street. People find it much more convenient to just log onto ebay than go out shopping for it. But ebay is a great invention many sellers and buyers end up most of the time happy with the purchase and sales of items. almost everything is available on ebay, in my household if anything is needed to buy the first response someone comes out with is "look on ebay" and most of the time we find the item but most importantly, at a reasonable price. There are negatives about ebay though. Recently I purshased some new headphones from ebay and they ended up being fake counterfeit headphones after the seller said they were 100% Genuine. But that is the only problem Ive had over 5 years of buying and selling.
