Take A Look At Online Auctions

Online Auctions such as eBay have in truth grown in popularity over the past couple of years. And it's easy to understand why. From a buyer's perspective when you browse eBay you can find simply about anything you can be looking for. From collectable to clothing, from automobiles to the odd and weird. It's listed for auction on eBay. And from a seller's point of view if you have something that is worth selling, you are bound to find a buyer for it at eBay.

As explained in my book "eBay Marketing Wholesale SourcePak" eBay is a community of members who can buy/sell items locally, nationally and internationally. And while eBay has over 100 million members there are rarely any real problems between buyers and sellers. I believe a great deal of this could be attributed to the eBay feedback. Feedback is where buyers and sellers can leave comments on their experience with each other. Whether is was a good or a bad compact, you can read about it in the feedback. Now I won't lead you to believe there are no problems at all, because that would not be right. But all in all things run very smoothly.

Harris Poll did a survey regarding online auctions that I found quite interesting. 43% of participants said that they bid at on the web auctions looking for bargains, 23% said they are looking for hard-to-find items and 21% were looking for collectables.

When it came to how confident buyers are at receiving their purchases, 54% were confident and 40% were truly confident they would have no problems receiving their product. This compared to merely 1% who was not confident.

51% of those surveyed said they always, check feedback before buying from a seller and 36% said they usually do. Only 3% said they never check. I've got to believe that this 3% are newbies.

At least 3/4 of viewers said they had bid on and had successfully paid for items. While more than half saying the main value of the product bought was up to close to a hundred dollars or more.

At least 2/3's paid for their items with an online check, or money order given to the seller. While almost half paid online with their credit card using a secured online the third party payment system found on the auction. And almost all said they hadno problems whatsoever with their purchases.
