Introduction
eBay is an internet trading website. You can sell and buy things directly or auction them. The target audience is internet bidders who are looking for a particular item / items!
The Auction Process
When items are put up for auction, there is a minimum price set and a time limit set. People then bid against each other. When the time limit is over the highest bidder gets the item. They then pay the auctioneer the amount they bidded.
Benifits of eBay
The benefits of eBay are that you can bid and buy for anything, anywhere in the world. Items can go quite cheap and almost anything is sold there.
Limitations of eBay
The limitations are that if you don;t have the internet or can't get access to the internet then you can't buy or bid for anything.
Another limitation is that an item can be made to look better than it is. For Example; i car could be for sale, the bodywork could look fine in photographs, but in real life the car could be a terrible runner, or there could a dent on a section of bodywork that isn't photographed.
