the UK's online marketplace!

Advantages: Bargains, make money, easy to use
Disadvantages: not knowing who to trust

...WHAT IS EBAY? Ebay is an online auction site where people can list items for sale and people can bid on them, the highest bidder wins the auction. You can find almost anything on ebay from tins of soup to clothing to jewellery to furnature to bussinesses. Each time you buy or sell an item both you and the other person involved leave each other feedback, this can be positive or negative feedback about how the other person was at communication, payment, delivery etc. The more positive feedback a person has, the more trust you can put into buying from them or selling to them. If they had lots of negative feedback for example saying that buyers never recieved their item or it was in bad condition then I wouldnt buy from them. You can have an ebay shop where you pay a monthly fee, have a shop name and all your items are listed within your...

The biggest internet shop in the UK.

Advantages: reliable, penty of stuff to choose from
Disadvantages: your have to be at home, for stuff which won't fit in the letterbox

...the years, and I think only a couple of times have things not turned up (I?ve had plenty of stuff go missing from other online stores!), and when they did, Amazon just sent out replacements the same day I informed them of the lack of delivery. I once returned an item, on the grounds I didn?t want it, they took it back without question. I only had to pay the postage. So I?d recommend, Amazon.co.uk as a good online supplier....

Amazon.co.uk - A reliable online shop.

Advantages: Really wide range of products, Speedy Delivery, Easy to order from.
Disadvantages: If you select free delivery it takes a little longer.

...I first came across amazon.co.uk a good few years back when it mainly specialised in books. I was initially really impressed with the service and have since used it many times to order dvds and such. I particularly like the search function as it lists dvds from similar genres too. Once you've signed up, ordering is pretty easy. All you have to do is type in your delivery and card details and then confirm postage details. I really liked the fact that you have the option of saving your card details as if you order again you can pick which card you would like to use. I've found the postage costs to be pretty reasonable, I think it costs about 1.50 per item but delivery is really quick :-). After ordering you can track your order in your account, and it supplies a delivery estimate which i have found in general to be accurate. Amazon...

GALLOPING ONLINE WITH THE BLACK HORSE

Advantages: Track account movements and transfer instantly between accounts. Apply for e-savngs account.
Disadvantages: Access code device doesn't work overseas

... GALLOPING ONLINE WITH THE BLACK HORSE I have been banking with Lloyds Bank (now LloydsTSB) for a long time. For the last eight or nine years, most of my transactions have been online. I had a few worries when Lloyds Bank and the TSB (Trustee Savings Bank) merged, but it didn?t seem to affect customer service as much as I had expected, and my loyalty seemed to be still appreciated. In 1999 I was introduced to the internet, and I had my first e-mail address. I'm not quite sure when LloydsTSB started offering internet banking, but I was quick to take advantage of it. I was sent a user ID number in the post, and I chose my own password. I had to choose a memorable phrase of which three characters would be selected at random (such as the fifth, ninth and eleventh). Drop-down menus of letters and numbers ensured...

Advantages: Free delivery and returns!
Disadvantages: None That I can think of!

...The littlewoods site can be accessed using the address www.littlewoods-online.co.uk. SImple! When the page comes up, ususally a pop up advertisement appears too.

To use te site you have to be A) a littlewoods customer and B) registered to use the online facility. If you are not just fill in the relevant forms and hey presto!

Campmania.co.uk - An online retailer to avoid

Advantages: Competitive prices
Disadvantages: Non-delivery of items, appalling customer service

...After a lovely day at a Weymouth campsite, my family and I had decided that it was time to go camping in our own tent and decided to buy one including all the gadgets. Being an online shopping lover, I had a good research session on the web to find a tent that is suitable for English weather and that is big enough for our family. We found an 8-berth-tent from Gelert at Campmania.co.uk for a very good price of £149. Campmania is part of the Emania Group, one of the UK's largest outdoor ecommerce businesses and supplier of everything needed to go camping. Here is only a choice of the variety of products on offer: tents from 1-person to 9-person-plus tents, outdoor sleeping equipment, outdoor cooking equipment and accessoires, camping furniture, clothing, camping tools and sunglasses. My chosen items were displayed online as all...
