Would you recommend a reverse online auction as a mode of purchase?

I've recently tried a reverse auction from a site that I found on google adwords. I posted my wanted ad for a playstation. I requested a lower price and I had a good deal. There was only one bid but the transaction was successful and I received the item. I'll give it another shot !

it is a online auction site where you can sell or buy new or used items. it has some good features like email a friend, add to watchlist, reminder and of course advance search which you can type in your budget. is actually quite a good auction site and i have used it several times.

I wouldn't think so...You can only make a meagre living selling "junk" anywhere...The people on E Bay are by and large, very good and cautious buyer's...So I would say ..no...to junk...\n\nHowever, with good used and reconditioned item's...yes.. A lot of very successful people, are making a very healthy living, on that site...Chose your word's more carefully....Go for it and good luck...Yukoneze

No.  Let them bid and win the auction.  At the end of the auction if they are the high bidders then the payment information they need will be available.  \n\nDon't forget that ebay and paypal have very important personal information like bank acct numbers and credit card numbers...there are a LOT of people trying to get access to accounts to steal either merchandise or money and leave someone else to pay the bill.  \n\nDo not share unnecessary information ever.  They do not need that information to bid.\n\nIt is far easier to prevent theft than to remedy it.  Be safe and good luck with your auctions!

For the things unavailable in my area, yes.\n\nIf eBay sales can offer a better deal for something I can otherwise get locally, including shipping costs, I'll buy it online then, too.\n\nThe key is to do your shopping, and to be honest with yourself as to how badly you need something.

Sure if you go into business for yourself. Like doing independent contract work ie graphic design or something. Ebay isn’t a bad idea either you could take on other people’s stuff and take a cut of the profits, good luck!

Yes. I get really good deals on ebay. Usually I have no problems.\n\nI have one rule though: don't buy from anybody with a worse then 98% approval rating. Think about it. If they have a 98% approval rating, that means that about 2% of the time people were unhappy. That means 1 in 50 people didn't like the service.\n\nIf they have a 90% rating that means 1 in 10 didn't like the service.\n\nDon't take chances, watch the approval rating.

I use it all the time. I am a frequent seller and buyer. You just need to beware of shipping rip-offs. But in general Ebay is a fantastic forum for finding what you need.

I never heard of them before. I don't want to discourage you. If you interested I think you should look at what you getting and what is will actually cost in both time and money. \n\nMy experience with a similar deal was that most people don't find that they end up losing money.
