well ebay can be dangerous, just like the home shopping channels that are on tv... i do like ebay to purchase unique and different things that i cannot find around here...i would say for me its more of a hobby than an addiction lol maybe you should stay away from ebay for awhile??!!

Hi there.. I have not been active lately at ebay because I don't have anything to sell since I am just being active at ebay everytime I sell something. So I can say that i'm not addicted to ebay. I was at first but then when I started posting my items, there are just lots of nigerian bids who are just planning to scam me. So I called it quits. :)

I wouldn't say I'm addicted to eBay, I just go to the site and look for things, as I want them. eBay is a great place for me to look for antiques. I collect 78RPM records, and eBay is a fantastic place to find them.

lol. When I browse thru things on ebay, I can't stop adding things into my wishlist! There was a period of time when I just couldn't stop buying, but now I've stopped because I'm broke. Am planning to get something when my finances are more stable in the near future hehehe.. :)
