Ebay Express to the Rescue

In a rush, or in a jam; have no fear because Ebay Express is here. That may sound like a moniker for some kind of crime fighting machine but in actuality it is a real website. Ebay Express is an offshoot courtesy of our favorite auction website, Ebay. This Ebay service is exactly what the name implies. It is a fast shopping website for people that do not have the time to sit around and monitor an auction.

Ebay Express sounds like it could be a fast way of shipping Ebay items. It is and it is not. Ebay Express is actually a website that allows merchants the opportunity to sell their products without going through the auction process. Click, buy and ship are the extent of the buying process.

Ebay has come a long way since its humble beginnings as a fledgling auction site. The original and still fantastic, Ebay has its own baby. Ebay Express is the immediate purchase website that mirrors consumer websites such as Amazon, Wal-Mart or any of the other myriad shopping sites on the internet.

The Ebay new auctions have a set amount of time they must go through before ending. This allows buyers to engage in a bidding war over the product. The upside is the price is set by the bidders. An item may have only cost the seller a few dollars but could wind up selling for double and even triple the initial cost for purchase. Sounds great doesn't it? The downside is that the item may not be bid upon or have a very low bid. Thus costing the seller money and that does not make anyone happy.

Sellers who use the original Ebay site to utilize the ebay auction feature, must wait a set amount of days before the auction ends. The seller could double or triple their investment or they can wind up seeing the auction close for very little money. It is the risk that is associated with using auction sites.

Ebay new auctions take time. There are varying days within the auction time limit that are chosen when the seller creates the ad. The waiting game commences from the moment the auction is listed. For a seller it can be a dicey game of chance. Will the auction make money? Will it break even or will it cost money? Ebay Express takes the guess work out of it.

Ebay Express is similar to auctions but with the "Buy It Now" option. An Ebay auction can end early if the customer chooses to pay a predetermined price. The concept behind the Express website is to offer customers the opportunity to purchase merchandise immediately without having to engage in bidding. It is similar to Amazon and other major retailers in this way but differs in the fact that individuals, versus corporations or physical businesses, have the opportunity to sell their products.

Ebay Express was born from the principle behind Ebay stores. A person, or group of individuals, register and then begin the process of listing their merchandise. The clothing, make-up or other collectibles ebay is known for are divided into categories and then listed. When the buyer finds the particular item they wish to purchase, they simply click on "Add to cart" and then proceed to the check-out. They also have the option of adding the item to a wish list in case they want to return later and purchase without the hassle of finding the article again.

The service is not for everyone. Ebay Express lacks the thrill of the auction. There is no competition and the prices are determined more by the seller than the actual potential buyers. It is for people who do not want to wait or become involved in monitoring an auction. The items ship out within one to two business days and most sellers offer package tracking. For those who do not have the time to wait, Ebay Express has answered the call of help.

You will not get an adrenaline rush from using Ebay Express as you would engaging in a bidding war on Ebay's auction site. You will get your merchandise without having to wait for the auction to end because you are not bidding on an auction. You will not get a purse for a penny but you will have the comfort of knowing that once you click "Add to cart", the item is yours.

There are some people who do not have the time to invest in auction watching. Perhaps it is the competition or thought of losing that much needed item. No one likes to see their potential collectible go to another person at the last minute. Ebay Express takes the worry out of the equation. If you have the money, click, buy and ship. It is that easy.
