Have You Tried Auction.Ph?

// December 17th, 2006

I’ve always wanted to try online buying and selling. I even got myself a separate credit card for that activity. When I tried eBay, I got so overwhelmed by the competition and too many items enlisted.

So, I decided to try Auction.ph first. So, here’s what happened…

The registration took almost 20 minutes of my life because it kept on telling me to check some field that according to the note I did not fill with valid info. But there’s not even any indication which specific field is that. I tried to change some of what I’ve encoded and kept on trying to finish the registration but it was useless. If I were not only really excited to finally get the feel of an eBay-ish biz, I wouldn’t spend that much time trying to figure out what’s wrong. So after a few more minutes, I finally got it right - it’s the friggin’ phone number field!

FINALLY!

I tried to register a new item to jumpstart my participation and guess what? Same problem. When I reached the section when I’m to upload a picture of the item I’m about to get registered, it keeps on going back to the basic product information page instead of the final step.

So I guess I just have to re-fill my patience tank first before I could ever continue with this Auction.ph challenge, huh?
