Half.com is an on- line service that is an affiliate of Ebay, offering discounted prices and the opportunity to buy and sell used merchandise. Unlike Ebay, which auctions items to the highest bidder, Half.com offers sellers a price for their goods, and then lists them in the site for immediate purchase. There is no bidding necessary.




 

Types of Items Available:

Half.com has nine main categories of merchandise to buy and/or sell, and a tenth, miscellaneous category for everything else. The nine main categories are: books, music, movies, video games, computer software, electronics, sporting goods, trading cards, and toys.
 

Becoming a Member:

Items can be bought and sold in all the categories, but before you can get involved, you must first establish an account. To do this, you simply follow the link and enter your first and last name, e-mail address, and a Half.com member name and password. You must agree to the terms of the member agreement and click the box confirming that you agree with these terms, before you can complete your registration. It’s free to register, but membership is limited to people in the United States only. Also, keep in mind that you must be a registered member not only to sell items, but to buy items, too.
