Jshean20 @Jshean20 (14348) • Canada 27 Feb 07

Ebay is such a fun site to visit and man do they ever have some sweet deals sometimes! I can't help but look at their jewelry from time to time and I can't imagine how someone could be brave enough to fork out almost $7,000 for an...

Ocean56 I have spent close to $100 on Ebay at one time, but that's all. I have SOLD various collectible items and had people spend several hundred dollars EACH. I have a very good feedback rating, though.

quatelmon @quatelmon (955) • United States 21 Feb 07

I am an atheist. Try to prove that there is a god to me. I am oppinion to all oppinions, and will not give you a negative just for a differing view point! I want this to be your best attempt at trying to prove to an atheist that...

Can you be Polite? How?

Dolcerina @Dolcerina (3376) • Hungary 21 Feb 07

Are you polite? Is it still in trend to be polite? I heard that american men are not polite at all, and american women do not await men to be polite to them. For example: A man does not open the door for the woman. Are the men...

Ocean56 Despite all the OTHER issues I had growing up in a dysfunctional family, we were not only taught but EXPECTED to be polite to others. My children were all taught to be polite. My wife and I are polite to each OTHER. I think politeness in general is on...

Have you ever had your water shut off to your home? When I woke up yesterday to take my shower there was no water. I called up the water service to fine out why I did not have water. I know I payed my water bill. Found out there...

Do You Teach Your Child To Say THANK YOU

onabreak2 @onabreak2 (1161) • United States 19 Feb 07

I have noticed that trying to get some children to say Thank You is like pulling teeth. Especially at Halloween. You open the door and give them their candy and they stand there with a look on their face like is this all that I...

What is the worst deal you've ever made on eBay?

scorpiobabes @scorpiobabes (7225) • United States 19 Feb 07

For me, it was during the time I was selling with flat rate shipping, for example, all items priced $.99 to $9.99 would be shipped for $5.00 US, with the rest going up from there. I bought an old outdoor portable stove, quite...

Ocean56 Oh, I made HORRENDOUS mistakes regarding shipping, ESPECIALLY for overseas shipments! I'm not doing much with Ebay any more, though. I sell used books, and they're doing MUCH better on Amazon.

Would you do this to your kid?

soccermom @soccermom (3198) • United States 19 Feb 07

We have friends that have an 18 year old daughter. She's a decent kid and they have always set standards very high for her. When she turned 18 they made it clear to her that as long as she lived under their roof she would abide by...

Ocean56 NO! He's right that as long as she lives in their house, she should live by their rules. But how does he know he's not putting her in danger by 'dropping' her off there?!?

Ebay. Do you trust it or no?

Bee1955 @Bee1955 (3882) • United States 15 Feb 07

I have been with eBay almost from its beginning. I have seen a lot of changes for the better so people would not be scammed or spammed. Then comes the changes that are not so good (higher fees), but then are understandable for...

Ocean56 I TRUST it, yes. But I'm very frustrated with Ebay as a seller. I mostly sell books, and have not been doing well on Ebay. So most of my books are listed on Amazon, and I'm having much greater success.

Are you PROUD of who you are?

western_valleygirl @western_valleygirl (1363) • United States 14 Feb 07

This is not a present and future kind of question. It really has to do with one's past. It is a question about if you are proud of your family, your roots, and your origin. I see so many people who take all that they have been...

Chele2k2 @Chele2k2 (241) 14 Feb 07

Do you feel, you would need to be in a relationship for quite some time, before you would even consider getting married to that person? Or why wait, why put off the inevitable and marry them as soon as possible, because it...
