Today’s sites are that unusual thing - UK entrants, which makes a welcome change for that … and the niche is ecommerce, Shopping.com and Dealtime.co.uk, the shopping comparison sites, offering you sourced deals on the staple products of jewellery, consumer electronics, appliances and Lingerie.

Shopping.com, not a bad name, have been around for a long time - dealtime.co.uk is in some ways the amazon imitator, with a preponderance of ebay sourced merchandise. It is worth noting that with the flock-like similarity of all ecommerce web site design these days, the transition to the seller’s domain is hardly noticeable…

Do bear in mind that these are only facilitators - the deal is done with the participating merchants, who bear responsibility for price and description.
