What is ebay and can I use it for gift shopping?

Ebay: The Flea Market Online

Ebay is a great source for online gifts, and the options are truly endless. You can get everything from transformers to vintage jewelry, so you won't have any trouble with selection. Ebay is truly great if you really know what you are looking for.

If your gift recipient is a collector of anything, check out some other items in the collection like the brand or maker, the timeframe and the style and hop on ebay to see what is available in the open marketplace. Just think of it as a flea market with a much better selection.

* If you are in a hurry, look for an auction with a "Buy it Now" option so you can just plug in your credit card through paypal and your item will be on its way!
