I think the most regular thing I buy is clothes - jeans in particular. I've found it's cheaper for me to buy nice clothes and new clothes off of ebay than going to the store.
What about you? What do you like to buy on ebay?

I usually buy musical instruments (especially harmonicas) on eBay because I cannot find them easily in music stores out here. I also buy a lot of body jewelry since there is some nice stuff that is handmade by the people selling it on eBay.
I have just started buying clothes online and have bought some things on eBay. I'm just not good at gauging what will fit me so I'm still a bit weary about it. But when it works out, it is a good thing.

I've bought 1 or 2 jeans that didn't quite fit the way I wanted, but when I'd only spent $10 it wasn't worth getting too upset over?

Wow that's not bad. Because even at the store I'll buy a pair of jeans if they are $10 or less if they don't quite fit how I would normally like. I recently got a pair for $5 that is just way too long but I figured for that price it is okay if they bottom gets all messed up quickly.

Clothes, oils and general things really. Actually, all kinds of things really lol. eBay is great! I sell more than I buy though.

Yeah, it can be fun if a transaction goes smoothly but if it doesn't, it can be stressful at times.
Selling is a lot of fun, more so than buying in my opinion.

I buy a little bit of everything. I have gotten jewelry, gifts for friends and family, and other little things. I mainly look for my text books for my college classes. It saves me a ton of money and has made me an avid ebayer! I am currently looking into buying a small digital camera that I plan to take on a cruise. There is an underwater one for about $20, so if it doesn't work or doesn't work very long I won't be disappointed. I have a $400 camera that I refuse to take anywhere near the water for obvious reasons! lol

I tend to buy clothes for my son...he grows so fast that paying full price at a store for him to wear something maybe a handful of times, just isnt sensible with todays economy, have to save money anyway you can. The other items i might buy are video games

Kids clothes get expensive fast! That's a great way to save money.

I love shopping on ebay, I think it's the best place in the world to grab a bargain.
As long as you check the feedback rating of the other seller then it will be fine.
I might search on there for some new jeans now.. I really do need some! I've recently lost weight and gone down two jeans sizes.. so the jeans I'm wearing really are too small for me at the moment!

I like to buy small gadgets like Pen drives,MP4Players,speakers,printers and so on.But now these days it is too hard to find good products for good price.I also like to buy clothes,but when it deliver to Sri Lanka,adding shipping cost is horrible.

That's too bad on the shipping. At least you've found some good deals in the past?
