...INTRODUCTION A few years ago me and my husband bought two canoes from a seller on ebay, we spend two summers happily paddling up and down Lake Coniston, in the Lake District. Then last year these canoes become very uncomfortable, I think it was always the same but we bought them on a whim so I protested at paying too much for canoes that I thought would sit and collect dust in the garage. So at the end of the summer last year we decided to sell them on to get better kayaks, our old ones were the kind you had to slide into and on a number of occasions I got a soaking just trying to get in and out of them. We settled for two ocean kayaks, these are the kind you sit on top of as I had seen a number of people with these and they were not only smaller but they also looked very comfortable. THE YAK OCEAN KAYAK The ocean kayak...

Ebay

Advantages: different types of auctions, feedback system, safe/well known
Disadvantages: can be some fake items/bad sellers

...Ebay is probably the most well known and recognised internet auction site. It allows buyers and sellers to meet in an electronic style marketplace. It is an auction site so just like in offline auctions you have to bid for a good if you would like to purchase it. The site has three main types of auctions. These are: Auction style listings-the seller offers one or more items for sale for a specified number of days. They can also set a reserve price. The winning bid will be the person who bids the most before the time is up in the auction. This is referred to as proxy bidding and the current winning bid is always displayed but the highest bid that some one has made is not always displayed. For example if some one has bid £10 for an item but they have a maximum bid of £12 then the £10 will be displayed until some one has a bid...

Kayaking The Tasman

Advantages: Fun, adventurous, amazing views
Disadvantages: Weather dependent

...Abel Tasman is a New Zealand National Park located just outside of Nelson on the North Coast of South Island. With its golden beaches and clear calm blue seas its the perfect place for sea kayaking so at Easter 2005 a group of four intrepid GAP year students set out with Abel Tasman Kayaks to explore the park. Fortunately the weather was good, because although the company run thorugh winter, I think good weather makes the whole experience a lot more enjoyable. Being short on time we undertook a guided day trip - Beaches and Islands - which cost $99 per person. This includes: A kayak trip, a water taxi from Marahau to Anchorage and back, a substantial lunch and a guided bush walk should you so desire. The groups are relatively small - about 12 people, or 6 double kayaks and the first part of the morning is meeting your group...

Review of Abel Tasman Kayaks

A beginners guide to kayaking

Advantages: its awesome and exciting
Disadvantages: it can be dangerous

...Ok first things first this is going to be a long review so before you start reading go get yourself a mug of tea or whatever your partial to!!! In this review I am going to cover Kayaking as a sport and I will include all the things you need to know to be an expert on kayaking like myself!!! Water grading This is an essential piece of information that every kayaker should know otherwise your putting yourself at serious risk. Basically all white water is given a grade depending on how hard it is and they range from I to VI and this a general description of them: Grade I: very easy white water that is barely discernable from flatwater Grade II: slightly harder and you can begin to see some water features (stoppers, holes, waves etc I will come onto river features) Grade III: I regard grade III as entertaining but not difficult...

My Ebay, Your Ebay, Anyones Ebay.

Advantages: Unusual presents, easy to browse.
Disadvantages: Addictive, spend too much.

...I know there are many Ebay reviews already, but as I have been a member of Ebay since 25/09/01 before it became a household name, I thought I would write a review. What is Ebay? * * * * * * * * * * Ebay is an online auction shopping site. Almost anything can be bought on Ebay (except livestock) from normal, everyday items to weird and wonderful. There are other online auctions but Ebay is the most popular. I have bought from others, but Ebay has an extensive equestrian range which is really useful to me with my horses. Think of something, put it in search and it will display any items that are available. You can also go into the categories to find what you are looking for. I won`t bore you by listing everything as you can look yourself, or probably already have, but just for an idea, clothes, sporting equipment...

ebay

Advantages: great bargains at a fraction of retail price
Disadvantages: people who dont pay

...Ebay is the best thing since sliced bread in my book ! I have been selling and buying on ebay for over 4 years now, and i love it. i have got some real bargains off the site, and at a fraction of the retail price. Dont get me wrong it has its faults, namely other sellers..it really gets my goat when you see ugg boots buy it now for £40.00...come on, any one worth their salt knows you cant buy ugg boots for less than £180.00. There are people out there that will spoil it for others, i.e bidders who dont pay, you then have to chase them for payment and open disputes to get your listing fees back...but over all, its a good experience, and very addictive. You cant help thumbing through the auctions and having a little bid here and there..and the adrenaline rush when you win it..woooaahh. I have always found it easy to use...

Ebay - my Love-Hate review

Advantages: easy to use, you can grab bargains or declutter your house
Disadvantages: not seller-friendly, fees feast

...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 to find great deals but of course it had its 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...

The Highs and Lows of eBay!

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

The many types of kayaking

Advantages: great fun,
Disadvantages: None

...There are many different types of kayaking here is some information on them. White water paddling: White water paddling is all about getting yourself in horrible situations and then finding a way out of that situation. People enjoy white water kayaking so much because of the adrenaline rush you get when You hit that wave in the water and get flipped over backwards. To be a white water paddler you must first be good on flat water. It is also handy if you can roll ,but it is not essential when you first start. But when you go onto bigger water it is Trust me you do not want to swim in big white water it is very scary. Playboating: Playboating is all about cramming yourself into a small boat. Taking it in white water and flipping it over, cartwheeling it and doing whatever tricks you want. Playboating is all about expressing...
