    4 Stars eBay - The perfect way to buy and sell Diamond review 12/09/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages An easy way to sell and buy items from the comfort of your own home

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A few buyers are untrustworthy and sell damaged or no goods.

    INTRODUCTION As more people are now recycling and looking for ways in which to earn a little extra money I've decided to review eBay as this is a site I've used on many occasions for both buying and selling. As there are so many different aspects of eBay this review will discuss the aspects of both purchasing and selling of items and will provide an overview of how the system operates for each area. I have to advise that I have gone into considerable detail with this review and have discussed both buying and selling where I have provided full instructions on how to use the system, so please ... more

    4 Stars The Highs and Lows of eBay! 28/12/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Many Buyers, Sellers & Items, Bargains, Shop at home, Sell your stuff, Make Money!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Time wasters, dishonest users, competition, Fees, Risks, Unjustified auction 'pulling'

    Start your own Online Business on eBay eBay is an online auction house, but more commonly referred to as an 'online marketplace' because many items can also be bought at a fixed price. eBay is one of the most visited websites on the Internet and can only be described as an online phenomenon, even being featured in blockbusters such as Men in Black, Transformers, etc. With hundreds of millions of items listed worldwide, and millions of items bought and sold daily, it's the behemoth of auction websites. I first signed up for eBay in 2002 and have since bought and sold hundreds of items on the ... more

    5 Stars eBay - Its like Internet Crack, Addictive & Expensive! Review with images 19/01/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lots of Choice, Bargains to be found, Easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Selling Can be Costly

    eBay If you ever use the Internet, or been around a computer at all, wait, let’s just say live in the 21st century , you’ve probably heard of eBay from somewhere or like a lot of people have probably used it as eBay is one of the highest ranking websites on the Internet with millions of hits every day. Personally I can honestly admit that I am addicted to eBay (Step 1 right?), and have been so since I first got grips with the computer and the Internet in my early/mid-teens, where I use to browse around the web and place all my pocket money in my bank and buy something which I thought was an ... more

    5 Stars Welcome to the world of eBay ! 02/06/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Sell to a worldwide market

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can become addictive !!

    "Oh no !", I hear you cry, "Not another eBay review ! What's wrong with the other 384 that are already on this site ?!?" The answer to that question - absolutely nothing. I have read many of those reviews, and I know that some are better than this one. However, I have been using the site for many years now, and hope that my input will provide further help to potential buyers and sellers on the biggest auction website in the world....... BACKGROUND: = EBay was started by Pierre Omidyar in September 1995, in San Jose. The idea of eBay was a site that was connecting people, not selling them stuff ... more

    5 Stars Our Postman always rings more than twice! 11/01/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Make money from unwanted stuff

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Postman may get to hate you

    Our postman is kept well busy delivering mail to our door. No surprise really as we trade on Ebay and other auction sites and the mail is delivered by the sack full every day. Before I go into this Opinion please allow me to make it clear that Ciao is my community zone and is personal to me. I do not wish to name the Ebay store that I run with my brother and I do not wish to name the websites we run either. It is for this same reason that I have not linked Ebay to Ciao through the market place option although I was tempted. I hope my fellow Ciao buddies can appreciate my feelings on this. As ... more

    4 Stars Buyer, Seller, eBayer! 03/04/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages The biggest online auction in the world

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some dodgy folk - both buying and selling

    Not another eBay review? As the former operator of a full time eBay-based business I hope that I may be able to offer something useful. If not, I’m sure I’ll hear about it! What’s it all about? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ eBay is the world’s largest online auction site… as most of us will have read at some time or another. What is an online auction? How does it work? Is it safe? Can I make a profit from selling? Can I buy a bargain? All these questions will be addressed (and maybe even answered). In a conventional auction the winning bidder is the person who offers the highest amount (bid). Bidding ... more

    5 Stars Little World Of Ebay! 04/11/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, Dont have to leave the house!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Dont have a social life!! lol.

    i have been thinking about writing this review for awhile, since i have now become a total addict, i decided it would probably be the best time! I first heard of ebay from a friend who had purchased a pair of Diesel trainers for very cheap and then he started telling me all about it. i went home and was straight on to have look! For about the first week i was just looking about, trying to figure the site out a bit, theni seen a nice little Star of David necklace, it was quite cheap, i had been looking for one of them for awhile so thought, what the heck, no harm in trying! Before you bid on ... more

    4 Stars Auction Heaven 05/04/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Bargains Galore ... no, honestly.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Plenty of unsavoury people - people all over the world use it.

    www.ebay.co.uk I have been a user of eBay for a few years now, and despite my early scepticism concerning its merits, when a friend first recommended it to me, I finally, after about a year mind, gave it a try. To be fair, I have had a few bad experiences since joining but nothing that has put me off utilising the service for good … at this stage anyway! And, that is despite tonight's episode of Watchdog on BBC covered the risks of buying on eBay and using Pay pal. There are risks with everything on life, especially when you are dealing with people with whom you do not know. We all know the ... more

    4 Stars Now You Can Have A Birthday *EVERY* Day! Diamond review 23/01/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fun, making money, lots of parcels arriving!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Need to be aware of bad Ebayers, can be addictive.

    INTRODUCTION How would you like to feel like it was your birthday every day? First, you would get a postal delivery of envelopes full of cheques. (Admittedly no birthday cards, but bear with me!) Then Parcel Post arrives and you get lots of different packages. Opening them, you find books you have wanted to read for ages, new clothes, signed photos of celebrities you admire, DVDs and CDs. Sounds great, eh? It is. So what is it that gives you this wonderful kind of day? EBAY!! I resisted Ebay for a long time. I love shopping – especially online, where I don’t have to leave home ... more
