Ebay - surely you've heard of it.....the largest auction site on the internet. Its a really great place to start getting your feet wet if you're new to the world wide web. Try buying a couple of items, and then selling a few; it really lets you see how simple the concept is. If you want to know more about Ebay then check out our pages at:

Do however read the cautionary sections, i.e. number one rule is to know your buyer/seller - check their star rating and then preferably make all your transactions through Paypal. Yep, I know there's a small fee involved, but it really makes the whole process so much safer and easier. Plus you can go back at Paypal and check all your payments/receipts for the last year with instant access to any transaction details you might need.
Likewise with Ebay, it is so easy to follow your sales and purchases on your account and keep track of everything. The feedback system creates a "checks and balances" which allows others to better know their seller/buyer.
One caveat - sometimes things don't always go quite as smoothly as you may like - try emailing the buyer/seller involved before leaving bad feedback. Nine times out of ten there's a simple answer, which can be resolved with no problems.
Go try it - you'll like it!
