Do you buy things from Ebay

March 29, 2009 10:35am CST
Internet Auction websites are on the rise, and I'm wondering does anyone use Ebay, it is estimated that 1/4 of the UK's population use Ebay (on .co.uk) and God knows how many in USA. So what Internet Auction websites do you use? Ebay is my top one.

I only use ebay; but, with them pushing for more fixed price sales instead of regular auctions a lot of the bargains I used to find are getting harder to come by.

I've noticed that as well. But even some fixed price items are at a really good deal. Although, a lot of things aren't a good deal anymore. But I feel like the sellers don't want to get ripped off either.

When the fixed price + shipping of a used item costs more than the price + sales tax of the same item brand new - it is not a good deal and I have been finding this more and more on ebay. Of course, there are still some things I cannot get locally and I can ususally find them for a reasonable price; but, the REAL bargains are getting harder to find.

I use eBay and that's it. But I really love buying things on eBay. I have been on there practically since they opened! I bought over 300 items so far. eBay is quite possibly my favorite place to shop online. Some of my friends use other auction websites mostly because they are buying things eBay won't allow (like copies of DVDs). But I've always stuck with eBay.

My husband has been buying and selling motorcycles and motorcycle parts on Ebay for a couple of years now. He's a power seller with a 100% rating that he's very proud of. We have recently opened a motorcycle shop so now he has items for sale in both the shop and on Ebay. He also finds lots of great deals for the shop there.

I buy lots of things on ebay, but I sell a lot as well. I think I earn more from selling than I spend on it. I buy silly little things that I want, like a bought a pair of jeans the other week, and I bought a photo album the other day. I sometimes buy shoes on there, or xbox/ps3 games. I sell tonnes! As soon as I get bored with an item of clothing, I put it up on eBay. I have sold about 100 PS1 games on there (got about £2.50 per game for them) plus the console (sold for £20). Also sold my PS2 (£70) and some games (about £5 each).
