BUYING AND SELLING

Online auctions have now been on the web now for approx 7 years, with more coming online every week.. with the well known ones listing thousands and thousands of items from cars, cameras the oddities to well perhaps every thing you could possible think of. There is a place for everything on online auctions in the comfort in front of your computer, without even moving an inch in the buying process.

Selling well, a little effort on your side, in the post and packing and a little admin is all that is need...

Paypal is the mostly used way of secure paying, in the buying and selling process for most online auctions transaction. they do have types of guarantee for some items do read conditions of the lot/s before any selling or buying...A seller rating is where the buyer can see if the persons selling rating, if he/she has been selling long,. is a private seller, or a trader as well as feed back from past transactions from other buyers from him.

If you are selling and receive a payment via your paypal account, there are certain conditions in the way you set up your account and might i be charged a fee.

In the selling process a person lists their item/s for sale, this occurs a small lotting fee with another final price fee at the end of the sale ( see online auctions conditions before any selling and buying ) ..you can set a reserve price, as well as a starting price or for the sellers who have a good credit rating, after a set time, and wish to sale in the method of a BUY IT NOW you have the chance to buy it straight away at that said price, plus the sellers post and packing charge.

Do look before you do buy is how much you are going to be charged for post and packing, we hear it day after day where buyers say they have paid to much postage. it is up to you, if you want buy a item via an online auction you have to pay the sellers postage and packing. do not bid if you don't want to. some sellers have a standard set fee for postage and packing this might seem a little much, do do remember a lot of people on the online auctions do not do it for love,( some do ) it is their business...remember time is money for them, so a set charge is the way they deal in..

A lot of confusing descriptions are added to selling items to get your maximum attention. The main grip we hear about every week, time and time again, is the condition of the bought item/s ...someone's sellers good condition could be a fair to poor for the buyer. IF YOU HAVE SECOND THOUGHTS THEN ask questions via email or SKYPE and ask for more photos via email, then its yours DECISION to what and where you go from there...

Do look at all conditions of buying and selling, remember: Caveat emptor- Let the buyer beware

There are a lot of good dealers and general public who sell and buy online, if you are unsure of any transaction you are dealing in then think again.
