eShoppe : Time to 'update'

eBay,Amazon...Most of the people spending a good amount of time on web have heard about these names.Of this about half have no idea what actually they are , some know them as search engines, some know them as online shopping sites and the rest and the least avail services from these sites. Forget about the people having occasional access to the internet.

Its a fact.A fact at least in most Indian cities. But thats not the case when it comes to more developed countries, yeah, USA, UK, Australia blah blah...Now take this as an eyeopener: Transaction worth about $2k per second are done on eBay, about 1 billion page views of Amazon each day .I hope , for some , this would be enough to invoke e-shopping and its pervasiveness.Others might like to read on.
Exactly how its a plus ? Some are a clear advantage...no going to the stores for your favorite movie discs ,album CDs(for those who say no to piracy !),novels, magazines, gizmos...cameras,laptos...apparels from a wide assortments for everyone and even grocery. You can even auction your good old gadgets, books, DVDs, laptops, apparel and most of the things you could think of. What more? It gives you access to the global supermarket ! Not all wonderful things mankind made for himself are available in a market near your place or may be neither in your country. Suppose you don't live in some major metro city in India. If your a cosmopolit and I guess not jaded , you could make a whole list of things you long for and aren't available in your city. Then not much to say eBay,Amazon are made just for you.
