eBay
eBay is the worlds largest marketplace. It is primarily an auction site which offers vistors the chance to sell and buy products online.
eBay offers the sellers the chance to set up a store online through their website. This is an alternative which allows you to sell all your products online without having to make any changes to your original website. The store works in a similar way to a store you would have on your website. Images and descriptions of the products need to be added to the store.
The sale can be offered as as an auction, which has a time limit, starting price and reserve price attatched to it. You can also offer a buy it now service on its own or along side the auction. The buy it now service has the price of products fixed at a certain price which it must be purchased for, in much the same way as a shop. This is the method of choice for most eBay stores as it means you can regulate prices and make sure you are making profit on products.
