I spent heapppppsss of hours browsing ebay especially when I am bored.. and of course the result is that I found things I might like.. and not need.. and bid it :P The problem is I usually win most of my bids.. therefore my money is suffering hiks..
Anyways.. I think the thrill of ebay is that to win the bid.. anyways that is what it is for me.. I feel sooo good if i can win a bid.. especially in good prices .. I usually manage to get a cheap item.. therefore savings my money rather than buying in from the shop.. What about your experience?

oh i'm shocking ... i could spend all day there!! Buying and selling.
You could always relist stuff you "accidentally" won =)
Although it totally annoys me when I'm on the other end of it - my fave part is grabbing a bargain off someone else at the last minute!

But the listing costs me some money as well hahahahaha and maybe Im just not good at listing because usually no one buys my stuff :)
Any suggestion?

The "cheap" listing days are good ... they don't come around that often but when it's only going to cost you a few cents to list then what do you have to lose!! I once did a search on "rare" and saw what items people were really after and then tried to sell them. I think ebay is really pot luck - sometimes you can be on a good thing and other times if there is no interest you just lose out =S The winner is always eBay ... especially with the amount they must be raking in for fees!!

unfortunately, there's almost impossible to bid cheap price from indonesia, since paypal doesn't recognize this country, and the delivery cost is quite expensive. *sob* Dealing with that online trading, i ussually look and check on some indonesian sites (like www.bhinneka.com for example) then i'll go to some stores to compare the price.
I want indonesian ebay T-T ...

yupe, there's 15% of internet user from indonesian total population, but yet only 5% of those are having their own internet connection, the rest are using internet from their office, or cybercafe. It's still cheaper here to bargain in the store rather than bid on the internet, like what you've said

doesnt indonesia have their own sites like ebay kind of things? but anyways it is usually cheaper to just buy from the shop and bargain in there right? rather than bidding from an online store :P

Heheh yeah it is addictive so you need to be careful as well. I got the same problem the first few weeks of using ebay, but now Ive got the hang of it and I dont buy as much as I used to.

I spend atleast 8 hours a day on ebay. I sell like 5 things a day, and buy probably just as much! I love it, i go there before any other online store. I'm still new to selling though, i would love some tips. Hope you have fun on ebay!
