Post 5- eBay

The website I choose to use was eBay. This is because eBay is on of the largest online shopping centers for bargain cost. By bargain cost, I’m meaning that you can choose what you pay for most of the items that are sold by online bidding. Items are put on eBay by individual wishing to sell their items to a wide variety of audience for a little charge form the company. I would call this the peer-to-peer model because eBay plays as a middleman in the transactions that are performed on the website. When coming to eBay does not play much of a roll for the customer because he or she is likely to use another website called PayPal. This is because your money is safer this way than paying through eBay, which seems to be very inefficient. EBay is a very good site if you are looking for deals because most of the people that post items on the website are in dire need to get rid of it allowing consumers to have an opportunity to receive huge bargains. I have used eBay many times and every time I have successfully saved money on items that I would have normally paid a good but more for. This website is a helpful tool when wanting to buy higher priced items at discount cost if you can master the bidding techniques.

  1. Yeah I never considered Paypal when i wrote my post. I do use Paypal myself when I buy things off Ebay, so that certainly makes the whole transaction of money safer and easier. You also mention bidding techniques and that definitely important because sometimes people can end up paying more than something is worth by accident and gets rid of the whole bargain aspect.
