I’ve been buying stuff online lately. Not only for me.. but also for friends and officemates who’s been asking me about certain products and or services.
My work requires me to be up at the mountains everyday (but no, i’m not a rebel) and I’m like one and a half hours away from the nearest city and 3 hours away from Davao City. So the only place I can possibly look for items that i want to buy is via the web.. online shopping.
There are a lot of online selling sites. There’s a new one in town that’s making the blog headlines. Ayosdito.ph. A quick look at teh site’s about page will give the following info:
AyosDito.ph is a website developed for Pinoys by Pinoys at 701 Search, Inc. We are funded through a joint venture between Singapore Press Holdings and Schibsted ASA.
I didn’t have a hard time looking for items being sold. I Just clicked on the area where I am currently at or you can also click an area where you want to buy from and a list of items being sold is available. You can either choose to show new items (which is the default) or show the cheapest items first.
But if you want to show a specific item, a simple search would do the job. Like, I searched for PS2. And a list of available PS2 being sold in my area can be found. What i like best is that you can also choose to inlcude neighboring towns and regions or have a list of the item being sold in the entire country. Nice Huh?!
Ayosdito creates a hassle free online shopping by providing you with the way to contact the advertiser/seller either thru a private message or via their contact number posted. You can also send the ad to someone you know my want to buy the item via a forwarding system/form at the bottom of the screen.
The site does not collect any payment or fee. Which makes the items being sold even more cheaper. The transaction is purely between the seller and the buyer. What Ayosdito.ph only does is to provide an online marketplace. Ayos sa ayosdito.
I just hope Ayosdito.ph adds RSS feeds to their services. By doing so, i would be able to track new items and be able to quickly choose the items that i am interested in.
