Ebay

  Ebay is something that started out small and has now taken off to be one of the more popular online shopping websites.  Ebay uses its innvoation of bidding on items and starting a competitive battle for a specific item that you want.  Also they have functions on Ebay which allow you to just buy the product now exactly when you want it.  My first experience with Ebay i bought a blackberry cell phone on it.  When i was bidding for the phone i decided that i would wait until the last minute to put my item number in so that no one could rebuttle.  What i did not know was everyone was thinking the exact same thing as me and i got out bid 3 times in the span of 2 minutes.  I think that is one of the problems that Ebay has, it is annoying and hard to keep up with all of the people bidding on the specific item and also if you really need something you just want it, you dont want to fight for it.  One great thing about Ebay is that you can find pretty much anything on there, from cars to boats to socks.  I feel like everything you want can be on Ebay and if you end up wanting to sell something you can do it easily through Ebay.  
    I remember when people used to be skeptical of ebay because they always thought that they would end up paying and then not getting their item, but ebay administrators have taken percautions and protected people from this ever happening.

Yea, I also don't like how competitive it is to win bids on ebay, that is why I usually don't use ebay. I can see how people like it a lot though. It is a way to find something you really want for perhaps way cheaper than in the store and it can all be done from our own homes. It is just funny to me that shopping online can still cause annoyance. I thought it was supposed to solve that.
