I am a big fan of online shopping. Whether it’s buying my latest read from Amazon.com or bidding on some vintage jewelry on eBay, I am all about it. The convenience, the price and selection online is usually unbeatable.

Recently, I stumbled upon a site called iOffer.com. This site is a community of traders from around the world. I just had my first transaction, and was relatively pleased with it. I received the items I ordered in a timely fashion, and liked the way the website worked. Basically, a seller lists an item with a price plus shipping and a lot/bulk price if applicable. Then, the buyer can offer whatever they deem fit and go through a series of counter-offers or negotiations with the seller. An added incentive over eBay is that there is no selling fee, though they do not disclose how much of your final sale they take a cut of. Users can also import their eBay ratings, which is a nice feature for buyers and sellers alike.

Another site, Ebid.net is also a place to buy, sell and trade goods. I haven’t personally used eBid, but it seems like a site worth trying. Ebid has different types of memberships, mostly for sellers. Unlike eBay, sellers can run an auction until something is sold, rather than limit it to 5 or 7 days. Users can also list items they are searching for, a feature that has not caught on based on the number of people posting [< 100 items listed], but has potential.

Last week, I had the chance to escape the smoky bay area to lovely Los Angeles. While there, I met up with DMS’s own Dave Mora for my first taste of Pinkberry and a chat about the new media space, micro-blogging trends, and weird yogurt.

Check out the video, and Dave’s blog for more!

p.s. I am fully aware of the fact that I sound like a valley girl. Like OMG!
