Checked it out -eBay

I guess I when looking at eBay, I have pretty well checked it out.

Having been a seller and buyer on eBay, for over 5 years, I have found it a changed place during that time.

When I first started, it was a bit of a gamble when either buying or selling, but things rapidly improved and became a sellers market. Prices secured as a seller were consistent and quite high.

eBay changed their marketing stance, looking to drive more buyers to the general marketplace and prices as a seller dropped considerably, which was a good thing for buyers and still remains the case.

The perception of eBay has changed over time and it is unusual for a transaction to go wrong and the support infrastructure makes it a pretty safe place to buy on the internet.

The range of features, searches, tracking asking for products and product reviews, along with a vastly improved feedback system, makes it a venue of choice for many online purchases.

It is always worth a search, to see what eBay prices are for items, before heading over to 'regular' shops, as there is often a decent bargain to be found and for the more obscure, or collectors item, it remains and always has been a first choice venue.

If you haven't done so, take a look around eBay and see what you can find.
