If you are new to internet auctions, you might like to have a look at the DTI's Internet Auctions Fact Sheet.

Get Safe Online
, a consumer portal sponsored by the Cabinet Office and the DTI, also offers some advice on how to Use online auctions safely.

Although some traders do operate on auction websites like Ebay, many sellers are private individuals. It's worth noting that private sellers, unlike traders, do not have an obligation under the Sale of Goods Act to ensure that the goods they are selling are fit for the purpose or of satisfactory quality. They do, however, have an obligation to ensure that the goods are accurately described. So, as they say in legal circles, Caveat Emptor. (Or as the rest of us say, Let the Buyer Beware!).

Auctionair

Auction site selling all sorts of items from computers to cars. It is a sealed big auction and bids are compared on the closing date and the highest bidders win. The big drawback is that you have to pay £5 for the first bid, £15 for the next five bids, and around £1 a bid when you make 29 bids.


eBay.co.uk

Headers: Online Auction
You can buy practically anything on eBay. Buying is simple; you find the item you like, register yourself with eBay (very easy procedure), and then put a bid in! If you like, you can put in a maximum bid and eBay will bid automatically on your behalf up to that maximum bid. Remember that you will be expected to pay for the delivery. If you want to sell, you have to register a credit or debit card with eBay to verify your identity. There are full instructions on eBay and you can even view their virtual tours for both buying and selling procedures. Couldn't be easier, but do read all the advice and instructions carefully before you start.
