The World's Online Marketplace – eBay



Do you like shopping online? Do you like finding a bargain or a good buy?
Then eBay is for you.
eBay is The World's Online Marketplace. It's a place to buy and sell almost anything.
With over 18 million members, eBay is more popular than any other shopping site on the Internet.


People trade millions of different things on eBay's Web site: from cars to electronics to musical instruments.
Here's how it works: A member puts an advertisement for an item on the Web site. Other members bid, or offer money, for the items.
The person who bids the most money gets to buy the item. Then the seller sends the item to the buyer.
"Selling on eBay is easy", says Mike Stacks. He's the owner of a company that sells used computers. And he adds, "I make friends on eBay. I think it's a very friendly place". But some people don't like it. "I think the traditional way to shop is better", says Jenny Feng, a student. "I want to touch things – not see a picture of them".
But whether you like it or not, eBay is here to stay. There are  now eBay users in the United States, Europe, Latin America, China, and many other countries. Soon, people may be able to shop on eBay anywhere in the world.
