OMG! I'm shopping like mad. In the past week I've won 2 pairs of shoes, a buttonfront knit dress, and some jewelry, barely losing out on a really nice pair of Bruno Magli flats as well. I've got bids in on 2 more pairs of shoes and a couple of denim skirts. So far none of the items have disappointed. This is too much fun. I really should buy something for my S/O.

Yep ... EBay is probably the best invention since slice bread ...

Although I've sometimes wondered about the merits of sliced bread ... it seems way too conventional for the likes of folk like us .....;)

But ... none the less my hand is up .. I'm an Ebay addict too ... I can't resist one more pair of shoes at the right price.... and then there is the lingerie and all those cool dresses ... dang .. I'm gunna need therapy here soon! :bs:

I'm an unashamed E-Bay addict myself and have bought loads this past week! I feel a lil less guilty though as i've sold things on E-Bay to pay for what i've bought! :)

Paypal has been nothing but problems since eBay bought them out, it's been 8months and I still can't get my new account verified.


As for being an eBay addict, I just bought a pair of boots, a corset, a wig, two wig stands, and a skirt this weekend:o

I love ebay, I have gotten 99% of my clothes from there and gotten a lot of great deals.

Yep, you display all the symptons of an addict, you haven't won anything, you simply bought things, possibly at an inflated price! :)

Many a time I've got in a battle to win on e-bay only to see somthing similar (and usually better!) going for less after the auction has ended!

But however rational I am after the fact, I just hate it when a late sniper comes in with 1 second to spare to pip me to skirt/dress/shoes/handbag/knickers or bra!:angry:

I may have been born at night, but it wasn't last night.

While I shop openly these days, I still love the bargains I can find on E-bay. I just bought this dress for $6 in a size 12--not there yet, but figured at that price it would be terrific inspiration. I hope to be modeling this in a few months.

Yup, I have to discipline my self to not cruise eBay. Just bought a neat-looking girdle with silicone buttock enhancers, two pairs of elbow length gloves, one red, one silver, an extra set of breast forms (for those emergencies) and a breast pump. Other than that, I have been pretty disciplined. Good luck.

I buy stuff all the time (and sell). I Think I'm up to like a 215 rating now with 100% positive feedback. I try to sell stuff and get money in my paypal account before I buy something.

I have certainly been addicted to e-bay in the past. I think that I have almost kicked the habit though. I haven't bought anything for 6 months now, and it has been amolst as long since I sold anything.

My very first computer was a barebones system from eBay, and last year I bought two more computers from eBay, over all I've bought three for myself, & Holly, and one for my brother.

If you know what you want in a computer, you can't beat the deals on eBay.

Ebay can give you some good bargains, but have you ever tried to get any sense out of ebay if you have a problem?

I contacted them to ask how to get the name and address of a member as I am taking them to court for libel, and their (eventual) reply said " Sorry to hear you have received negative feedback" and went on to offer totally irrevelant advice.

Having said that, I buy and sell a fair amount and rarely have a problem with other users. it's just ebay themselves who are cr*p.

I have bought many things from e-bay. If you use anything other than a Credit card don't expect a re- fund right away. Thats what they told me. I had a dispute for $14.95 it had to go back to pay pal not to my account. Now I have to figure out how to move it back to the checking account tied to pay pal.

Also I know 3 CDs that buy things in boxes of like 50 ea. Panties, bras, frilly things, and inflate 2 to 3 time the price from what even you could buy it for.
One that struck me was a frilly pair of panties they bought for $5 each and are selling consistantly on e-bay for $25 and up. Crossdressers as they say to me can be had on E-bay!

So be sure before you buy, that it's a good deal, and that the shipping is not inflated. Don't buy from Hong Kong or any country half way around the world. Clothing can be had cheap enough localy to you. Just go look. Put on that Brave soul face and go out shopping. Believe me it's a lot more of a rush.

I, too am an ebay addict. Though just recently have I been purchasing clothes to wear. Before it was just muscle car parts... LOL

My wife and I have (among other toys) a 1962 Ford Thunderbird. I can't wait to try being Suzanne Sommers (a La American Grafitti). Heheh
