Ebay is a fantastic auction site where you can start you own company or sell stuff that you own personaly that you dont use, dont need or if you just need to make a little bit of extra cash. You can find loads of bargins on ebay and they allways have millions of products on offer so its easy to find what your looking for. Listing items is also quite cheap. Altho search's can be quite anoying sometimes if your looking for a specific item you have ...

Review of ebay.co.uk

==Ebay, My Little Review== This is not the first review on ebay and it won't be the last either but I wanted to share some opinions I have of this website which I sometimes use, love, hate and sometimes thank. The first time I saw ebay was in 2004, back then the website was something completely different, full of genuine sellers doing a virtual "yard sale", although it was also a bit less friendly to use, plenty of design flaws too. It was easier ...
...downsides, many people in those years did not have digital cameras (nowadays it's unlikely to find a person without one) so many auctions were simply "described" but with no picture associated and it was sometimes a blind purchase. I don't remember paypal being that common at that time (until ebay bought it and brought it to fame) so also paying wasn't always easy unless you had a bank account or similar. Western Union was very popular with overseas ...

This is only my recent experience of ebay, and on a possitive note it is a good place to find things that would take a lifetime to find. As a buyer I can not really fault the site with easy layout and searching options. Sometimes postage can be high on certain items. Ebay have tried to counteract this, by making all seller of dvds and cds and vhs videotapes not charge any postage. To encourage sellers they have a free insertion charge if you start ...
...that dvd that you put on at 99p sold for 99p, then you get to the post office just to be told your dvd weighs over 100 gm so will cost you 74p to post, pay 5p to ebay for letting them sell you dvd, and another 5p to paypal, so ta da you've earned 15p on your 99p. I have sold a lot of dvds in the past on ebay, and this new system puts me off, there excuse is that there is a lot of sites such as play.com that offer free postage, so to compete they ...

I have been using ebay now for longer than I'd like to admit and yes, it does have its advantages. There is the excitement of bidding on items, the freedom of shopping from home without restricting hours and the opportunity to grab a bargain. But is it always a bargain? I'd like to say yes, but I fear, not always. I have bought so much stuff on ebay that has either ended up back on ebay or in a charity shop. Is it really worth it? Is one man's junk ...
...to grab genuine bargains. For example, I just sold a 100% silk top to the value of £40 for only £5, so someone out there has got themselves a great buy and I have cleared some space from my cupboards. It's also great for finding things which are difficult to get a hold of, retro stuff or car parts or whatever you may need- it's probably on ebay. Plus, you can sell your junk you no longer need and get some cash for it, great! Thankfully, ebay operates ...

Advantages: easy to access, great way to make a bit of money Disadvantages: items may not be what they seem Is it just me or do things seem to have gone a lot more expensive on ebay??? I was recently bidding on an Adidas tracksuit for myself.....for the gym, cos I'm on a diet ya know!! lol Well anyways, the bidding went up to about £16.50 and the with about 15 hours or so to go the seller withdrew it from sale!! It was listed for with a starting ...
...happy with £16.50 why not use the buy it now feature???? I would have been well happy with £16.50, seeing as I bought a brand new one last month for just £20!! Back to the review...... I think with the credit crunch more people are using ebay as a way of earning themselves a bit of cash...nothing wrong with that, but my how the prices have changed since I was using it about 3 years ago. You can still pick up some great bargains though and it is a ...

Hi I started using Ebay a few year ago and it has paid for my family holiday since 2004 Normal on a sunday i will go to the car boot sales early in the moring and buy what i think will sell, the best way to see what sells is to go on to the Ebay site and spend a few days surfing the site to see what sells best, i think you will be surprised at what you can get good money for, things such as Lego certain kids figures, fishing tackle, clothes, books, ...
...sell old rope, so spend a little time researching the site and if you work about 10 hours a week with listing and packing & posting you too could find that it pays for the family holiday!! If you decide to sell, research ebay for similar items to get a feel for the prices things are making, give as much info about the item as you can, take a clear picture of the item, somthings need more than one picture, start with a low reserve and you will get ...

Ebay. Everyone talks about how wonderful, or annoying, ebay is/can be. I have to admit that I thought ebay was a great thing when I was looking for a prom dress. Got a nice red ball gown for £58. However, I've found getting electrical items can be a bit of an issue. I was looking for a new mobile and I found a brand new one with loads of accessories for £116. The problem was that the chargers and phones had a tendency to be faulty according to the ...
...over here in the UK. Another thing was that it was coming from Hong Kong and so the parcel could get delayed at customs and I would have to have paid the customs fee. === Layout & Design === I think the layout and the design of the ebay website is quite good. They've put the adverts for products and the columns in the right places and they've used bright colours so some of their products grab your attention immediately. === Navigation === I find ...

Ebay now charge so much it's not worth selling nik naks from around the home for 99p, since they bought paypal they charge you 3 times, listing fee, final value fee and paypal fee. This is now not worth my while. Thanks ebay, you have effectively stopped small time sellers. Once upon a time I used to work from home and make a living by selling 12" records on ebay, nowadays it's not viable to sell anything under a quid unless you are listing 700 similar ...

The official history of E-bay suggests that the website was first invented by Pierre Omidyar in California on Sept 3rd 1995 and that the first item that was sold was a broken laser pointer. The official history is in fact a bunch of lies, it's what they want you to believe as what really happened is contoversial, embarrasses royalty and shakes many religious beliefs to the very core. In 1864 Pierre Nasique (as he was then known) founded a trading ...

eBay? What can I say about eBay? well basically eBay has been a haven for me for the past few years. I have bought and sold many, many things on this site and in my eyes, its the only place you should go to if your selling something. The site is so easy to use as you can basically search for any item you want straight from the homepage. Results are quick and appear instantly. Items are put into categories which makes it easier and faster to search. ...
...take some time as there are a few security checks you must do first. But once these are out of the way you should be selling and buying in no time. After you have bought something you choose when to pay, so you could actually buy something even if you don't have the money at that time as long as you pay up within the time that the person selling the item wants you to. Overall, I think eBay is the one stop place for buying and selling any sort of ...

In my opinion and in my experience the services of Ebay have encouraged me to earn money, recycle items of no further usage and to help others obtain items at a lesser cost than would have been possible before. By displaying an item for sale or for auction on Ebay I have the whole world as potential customers. If I only had a shop I would only have the people who passed by my windows and door. I believe there is no better way, for some items, than ...
...as well and the rating system and feedback systems are great guarantees of legal and worthy traders. The financial side is secure, well known and well respected. i trust the system. I like Ebay`s tradition and work ethic. I like their communicative approach and their adaptability. The E in their name means Excellence to me. ...

Ebay make it compulsory that you have to have free postage and packaging on products in categories like bags and DVDs. But lets you charge what you like in the jewellery category. When you enter something in a category that is enforced by ebay as free p&p it still lets you type in an amount but then throws up the error when you try and submit the listing 'postage cannot be more than £0.00' so why is that field there then? I tried to complain about ...

The 'Contact us' page is an utter falsehood in name (IMO), you type in a question get given a bunch of completely unrelated options and when you hit the Email Us button then you get this in a pop up message: 'Before we get started, can you tell us about your question or problem in Step 1? That way, we can give you answers right away and show you the best way to contact us for assistance' Well Im ...

Ebay is a revolutionary website in which people can pay a small fee to buy and sell items of all kinds, to people all over the world. Ebay is well known for being the place to find tickets to gigs, designer goods, and rare music and film memrobillia. I was a little scared of Ebay at first, but it's very easy to use. You can sign up for free. It's so easy to find what you want, and the choice is excellent. The feedback process is the key to it's success ...
...have been buying and selling now for about 4 years, and have not had any problems (even got my money back from my Michael Jackson tickets!) You just have to check peoples feedback and feel happy with what your buying. When selling, you must be honest and straightforward. I think good communication is vital. When there are any problems with the site or announcements you are always quick to be alerted. I love the vouchers you get, and building up ...

We all love Ebay, don't we? I mean, grabbing a gorgeous new pair of shoes for a fiver! You can't get much better than that! But in my opinion, there are also many cons going around on ebay! For instance, how do you know that £150.00 you're paying for the 3 night Spanish cruise is not a con? And of course, many people have been conned out of tens, hundreds of pounds. I would first of all suggest that everybody looks at the sellers feedback, and if ...
