As a shopping website,Eaby is a nice place for me. I have bought some presents for my sisters, those were pretty cute presents, my younger sister liked them a lot.Besides,they were very cheap too.
But as every coin has two sides, there is also disadvantages of shopping on EABY. For instance,the postage is depend on the distance from the place where the goods are send, and the farther, the more expensive.Once I bought a small toy which was charged only 2.99RMB,but the postage was 12RMB. As a result, I paid more money to the express company. That's funny! Also, we can see the goods we want to buy through the pictures on the website, but we can not touch them or examine them, so we can not make sure that whether the goods are those we want or not. This makes shopping on line is a thing which deponds much on our luck.
However, I have bought many things on EABY, I was lucky, all the goods I bought were those I wanted.So shopping on EABY is still a pleasure to me, I will keep buying goods on it and I wish more and more people will join it because it's really convenient.

I like eBay and probably buy more than I sell. I like the cash back on each item I buy since I signed up with one of those free programs and the cash back with microsft when you use the Buy It Now to make a eBay purchase is great.
I purchased a new box of Pokemon cards for my sons for Christmas. In WalMart, they cost about $3.99 per pack. I bought the sealed box of 36 packs for about $84.00 and I received 30% cash back. So I'll be getting a little over $25 back into my paypal account just before Christmas!
They've never had an entire box of cards before and I think they will be going wild when they open the gift.
We do sell on eBay from time to time and the categories we sell in are still pretty competitive, so we usually do receive multiple bids on our listings. But I have the feeling that the days of the "little guy" selling on eBay are about to end.

I rarely buy anything on eBay, but I sell on eBay all of the time. I did just buy a pair of Dora the Explorer slippers for my daughter off of eBay and shipping charges were more than the actual item. I still got them with shipping for less than I would have to pay at a store, so it was fine with me.

The laptop that I'm using to answer this, I bought on ebay. I love it. as far as postage cost, they tell you that up front how much it's going to cost, so you just have to do the math. I got this for $305.00. It's old and only has 6.0 GB but for now, that's all I need. In it's day, I'm sure it cost $500. It's an IBM and I like it. I also got a turntable for $30.00 Now that did end up costing me more because the needle was no good and I ended up just buhying a new cartridge for it. So in the end, it cost me about $70.00. It probably cost 90.00 new. It all depends. you have to watch what you are buying. I like sometimes just going on there with no intention of buying. just looking.
