I joined eBay early in 2003, curious about how the whole thing worked, and hoping to snap up a bargain or two - which I successfully did within hours of joining, and still do to this day. Firstly, I was amazed by the huge range of goods people were offering – literally anything you could think of seemed to be available somewhere: since I joined I’ve purchased a microscope, designer jacket, computer networking equipment, business tools, home items and much more besides. Nowadays, if I’m thinking of buying something, eBay is my first port of call – I can usually find it cheaper than in the shops, and have it delivered straight to my door! I have also found that selling on eBay has been a great way to get rid of things I no longer need or use from around the house: I have sold hundreds of items which were cluttering up my garage & attic, from pens to computers to gold coins. I started a small business recently, and have found that eBay allows me to reach millions of users worldwide instantly – greatly increasing sales, and of course profits. The only potential downside to the site that I can see is that occasionally an item might not be as described, or there might be a problem with delivery - though to be honest, since from the beginning I stuck to sellers who have a good feedback rating, and whose listings have clear photographs of the items they're selling, this hasn't been a problem for me.

I love ebay, I've just bought my first item and I'm hooked. have had a little less success with the selling side of things though! I think you need to put a bit more info in though, that will help you get higher ratings! Welcome to Ciao. Paula x
