Although this is not the first time for me using internet to buy stuffs, I can choose a wide range of stuffs using the 500SGD. Without hesitation, I went to www.ebay.com to buy the stuff i wants. If i have 500 dollars, i would purchase this camera. My interest for taking photos started recently and i would love to own this camera for myself, a beginner. As a beginner photographer, a camera like this will do fine. Once you got the hang of taking good shots, then you will proceed to a higher end camera.
This is what i bought: Canon EOS Rebel K2 35mm Film SLR Camera w/ 28-90 lens
Here is the link
With the currency going at USD199.90 and the shipping fees to Singapore is USD39.60, the total amount is USD239.5
As the stock and market currency keeps on changing daily, I use a currency converter with live rate website listed here
I managed to take a screen shot of the price
So the total is SGD352.317 a few dollar more or less
EBay is an online auction and shopping marketplace where people can make business in by opening and EBay store using their username. They can also buy or sell can their unwanted items through the internet worldwide. This is an international worldwide well-known company. This website is also known for promoting charity by selling some celebrities dress. Listed categories in Ebay are antiques, clothing. shoes, electronics, dolls, automotive, real estates, health and beauty products and many more.
For seller who are selling their stuffs on EBay, they need to pay amount of money for their item to list on the website. It's like a parking lot where people park and pay. And Ebay teaches you how to make your item listing, attractive for buyer to come and see your products.
Ebay has their own currency converter. EBay is well known worldwide, so for Singaporean, they will go to www.ebay.com.sg. All the price of the items listed in this Singapore EBay website will be Singapore dollars. Just like Amazon, which has this type of functions. But sadly, Amazon doesn't have a website for Singaporean.
Actually, there is more functions on www.ebay.com. These functions such as advance searches where we can zoom in to the search item we want and filter out those not related item. Feedbacks and rating is like our school record. If the transactions goes smoothly and the buyer received the items and is pleased with the item, he will gives you a positive feedback. And if the situation is different from the positive feedback, the buyer will gives a negative feedback. Therefore, usually the user will check on these feedbacks of the user that they are dealing with, how many negative and positive feedbacks they receive, If you receive too many negative feedbacks, the seller or buyer will need to think before dealing with you. This feedback system is let the other user judge you just like whether you are a hero or a crook.
The compare tool allows users to compare different products of the same kind. And that allows the buyer to look through a variety of similar products but different brands, price and functions before making their mind on buying the products which suits them the most.
Although this may not be the end of the transaction, you have to think of how you need to pay the money to the seller. Ebay has a function that will link you to a website to pay for the winning auction. www.paypal.com is one of the fastest and convenience way use in eBay to send money worldwide. Widely assured with the global warranty trust sign listed in the website.
Compare Amazon to EBay, Amazon handles the transaction online without having to go through other website such as Paypal. And there is no additional fees charges for using this third party transaction. Plus, EBay is an online auction where the highest bidder wins but Amazon is an online marketplace where you can buy the item on the spot. Therefore, EBay came out with a "buy it now" functions so that you can buy this item immediately without waiting for the auction to ends. If you think the buy it now price is affordable, you can go ahead to buy this item.
But EBay has a community forum where people can discussion their trading experience with others and also gave comments to the moderator or advise on how to improve the the website for friendly user. Unlike Amazon which doesn't have.
With so many functions, your item is just a click away and the postman will send it to your door steps within the next few days or weeks depend on the location of the item.
