Everyone nowadays is looking to save money when shopping for different goods and services, especially in the midst of this financial crunch. One area that has gained ground in recent years and save money is the use of auction websites. Here are some of the top two Australian auction websites that can help you find great products for a fraction of the original sale price!
1 - EBay
One of the top internet auction websites in the world is Ebay. People and companies list items that are either no long used or overstock inventory, often listed at deep discounts off the original retail price, making it a great discount online shopping opportunity. You can review feedback from those who have made prior purchases from the internet auction seller to ensure they are reputable and that the seller properly completed the transaction with good communication and reliable shipping. Most items are either new, used or "new without tags," meaning the item is either new or like new, but does not have the original hang tag or price tag. Ebay offers items from vendors around the world in a wide variety of different sellers. Ebay charges sellers both a listing fee and a "sold" fee, which is based on the final sale price.
2 Offerbidz
Another discount online shopping opportunity that is really gaining ground quickly is Offerbidz. This is a family owned company based in Melbourne and provides great discount shopping options. You can find anything from clothing to real estate to reptiles! One of the best parts of Offerbidz, is that there is no auction listing fee, unlike Ebay. Their final sale fees are also lower than Ebay. So for someone considering purchasing items online at a much lower price than the original retail cost, Offerbidz is an internet auction site worth considering.
There are many other auction websites that offer discount shopping opportunities; however, these are currently the two major ones in Australia. It is important to check their history and customer satisfaction prior to conducting business with any of the auction sites.
