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 ... ...I first signed up for eBay in 2002 and have since bought and sold hundreds of items on the site. I even achieved Power Seller status from all my selling for a while. The idea of eBay is that a seller lists an item for sale, either at a fixed price, or as an auction. With this in mind, the seller can sell off their unwanted items or sell inventory as a trader, and the buyer can buy something that they are looking for.

When you make a purchase from eBay, you are actually buying from another registered member of Ebay.

Opening an account is quick and easy with eBay. All you need to open an account is a valid email address and a credit card to confirm your address. There are ways to get confirmed without a credit card but it is a little long winded and I personally have ...

Advantages: Sell to a worldwide market 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:
... ...1995, in San Jose. The idea of eBay was a site that was connecting people, not selling them stuff. By 1997, the site had 341,000 registered users, which has now grown to an estimated 95,000,000 !!
SITE PRESENTATION:
The Ebay website's presentation is excellent. Upon logging onto the site, you are presented with the home page. This gives you various options to view different catergories, and also lists some "Featured Items". ...

Advantages: Make money from unwanted stuff 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 ... ...although I was tempted. I hope my fellow Ciao buddies can appreciate my feelings on this.
As well as trading on Ebay, my brother and I trade on other sites such as QXL, OK2Bid, Ebid and through Amazon. We also have 2 websites that we run. One is for smaller, cheaper goods for personal and home use and the other is aimed at professional and business use. We trade everything permitted by the websites and we respect their rules and policies. For this ...

For about the first week i was just looking about, trying to figure the site out a bit, theni seen a nice little Star ... ...looking for one of them for awhile so thought, what the heck, no harm in trying!
