Might just be my store, or the shopper I had on the day, but the first shop I did, I had to throw out some of the stuff as it wasn't remotely usable (eg bought garlic, and every single clove was dried and shrivelled up). Not a fan of their mince, either (way too coarse for my liking, and seems to like remaining in squiggly clumps no matter how much I try to break it down so I decided to stick to my local supermarkets for fresh produce).
But, I do really like the convenience, since I don't drive and I only grab what I can comfortably carry home with me on the bus. I tend to do a big shop of pantry, dairy, frozen and other sundries online every couple of weeks or so, then grab the daily essentials, meat etc, after I go on my postage run. (It can take me forever, though, cos I will look through all the half-price stuff before going through and getting other things I need
plus, the website can be frustratingly slow to load up between pages, which feels like the online equivalent of two jerks blocking me into an aisle with their trolleys, from both sides
so they're still providing me with some aspects of the original shopping experience... ).
I'm guessing this is a further step in the eBay / Woolworths relationship, maybe. Woolies are the only online grocery store I know of that actually do accept PayPal (and PP advertise them on the FB page etc), plus there's the Click & Collect thing, so maybe it'll actually be Woolworths on eBay rather than eBay groceries? If it is something more like Woolworths on eBay, I can't see the point. Mostly because I know the system communication between eBay and large retailer's pre-existing systems is abysmal, and a significant contributing factor to many Out of Stock cases, overlooking orders etc.
