Ebay is an online auction site
Members upload details of the items which they want to sell onto the ebay database which is continually updated with new information.
It is unique in the fact that it has no high street equivalent whereas such sites as amazon have a highstreet alternative such as waterstones or WHsmiths
There are 2 elements to the ebay system
there is the buying section and the selling section
to actually buy or sell you have to be a member of the site
With the buying part of the site you enter your bid or bids for an item and at the end of the auction the person with the highest bid wins.
You then send the money to the seller through a cheque or paypal (online payment service) or pay cash on picking up the item.
As a seller the roll is reverced and you post the item you would like to sell on the database.
at the end of the set time the highest bidder pays you through the above methods.
you then post off the item to the buyers address.
