How addictive is ebay?? Selling and Buying!

March 23, 2008 6:29am CST
Im a mad Wallace and Gromit fan and love collecting their items. Since having found eBay and all the items on there, how do you stop yourself from bidding loads of money just to get the item? What is the most you have paid for an item from eBay? Do you look back now and think was it really worth? Do you look back and regret buying things from eBay? Do you sell things on eBay? Do you find it really addictive to sell things on eBay? How far do you go to sell things on eBay? have you regretted selling things on eBay?

You have to make Ebay work for you. Set your top price before you start bidding. Unless you have a great deal of money to spend on such collectibles, then you must know and set your price limit. You should also set yourself up so you get a little cash back incentive when buying on Ebay. Also there are little "tricks" on bidding I can share with you. I sent you a friend request, if you accept it, I'll show you a couple of tricks I've learned on Ebay...and they are FREE to join and use!!

I sent you a couple of links. One can be used along with Ebay to make $$ and I also mentioned a little tip on bidding, if either of them sound interesting, I'd be more than happy to share the info (the tip on bidding is one I need to find out more about from my hubby) Both are totally free to use. I also sent another link your way and I know both links are available for people living in the UK and I'm making $$ with both of them!

I want to start selling things on eBay but dont want to get rid of my items, though I have a load of clothes that I could sell or was thinging about buying stuff from shops just to sell on eBay. What got you into selling on eBay? Thank you for your comment!

ebay is addictive.. you can check the current price of an item.. items at the price of bargain.. ebay is like a tiangge (changge - a boutique selling cheap items).. checking ebay is like window shopping :).. and shopping in ebay is very convinient.. after winning an item.. it will be delivered right in front of your door. :)

Ebay can be addictive. When I first started using it I bought way too much stuff. I would get into bidding battles and end up spending 3 times more than i meant to.

Will have to clear out the spare wardrobe and I ve got a suitcase full of clothes so might trya nd sell these. It is very hard trying to control yourself when the auction is nearly over!! Thank you for comment.
