The uninitiated
may ask. EBay, founded in 1995, is the world’s online shopping
destination for and of people who wish to buy and sell, goods and
services.
EBay which states its mission on its website, say that it aims to
provide a global trading platform where practically anyone can trade
practically anything. And it has done so successfully.
For it has irrevocably changed the way people shop, by giving consumers
more power in buying goods and services. It has also given the
individual sellers and small businesses, a venue where they can compete
for buyers on equal footing with the big boys – the industry giants.
Currently, EBay is in the following countries: Australia, Austria,
Belgium, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland,
Italy, Malaysia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the Philippines,
Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, the United
Kingdom, and the United States. As for Latin countries, it does this
through MercadoLibre.com.
Here’s a sampling from thousands of categories of items, what you are
likely to find on any and almost all of EBay’s local websites, trading
cards, antiques, dolls, and house wares to practical items like used
cars, designer clothing, books and CDs, and electronics.
How does a buyer buy on EBay? There are two ways, you can do search on
the item, and then you place a bid on the item, auction-style format or
at a fixed price through a feature called Buy It Now.
With a bit of luck, and persistence, you can walk away with a must-have
item, cheaper than if you've bought it at a brick and mortar store.
EBay, anyone?.....
