Ebay is basically a site where a person can sell and bid for items at the same time. For example, if I wanted to buy a DVD player, I'd go to www.ebay.co.uk, set up an account and then I'd put in a bid for the player. If I wanted to sell something, I'd set up a seller's account.

The range of products on the ebay website is very good. You can find a lot of items that are no longer available in the shops. For example, old computer console machines, rare autographs etc. Another good thing about Ebay is the prices that people bid for them.

Usually, you can get away with doing a very reasonable bid for a good item, such as an autograph. I've seen a lot of up-to-date materials on Ebay sell for as little as £1.00 which either makes me suspicious or I'd have to say that Ebay is definitely one of the best places to try and get products from.

One of my main interests is fruit machines and I've seen one of those go for a reasonable amount. It's definitely a site you have to visit now and again so you can see what changes have been made to the product stock.

The thing that annoyed me about Ebay was when you typed in a search term, such as 'Fruit Machines,' sometimes the results returned were not at all helpful to me because they were not 'Fruit Machine' related.

lacks a bit of detail such as what is on offer, how easy to set up an account, bidding procedures, layout and speed of the site

what you have written is good, but you could do with expanding it a bit, for example you have said about gettign an account but you havent said how easy it is, and so on
