I started ebaying about a year ago and I finally have to admit that I am addicted . You know you're addicted when you start to buy things that you have absolutely no interest in but you love the thrill of the winning bid . I just can't pass up the deals that I find on Ebay . I always tell myself ,"I know you don't need or want this , but you can always resell it back." The problem with this theory is that I never sell anything back . My ebay bills are the first ones to get paid and there are many of them . Do you think there'll ever be a support group for people like me ? Do you think I need help or is this behavior normal ?

Oh I am definitely an addict!
I fin dmore interesting things to get there all the time, and plan months ahead for what I want to get next. Alot of times I just go to ebay express so that I don't have to wade through quite as many things to find what I want. The prices there are still pretty good. I found a sample set of mineral make up and I bought it so I can try the stuff out. If I like it then I will go to the big ebay site and buy the ingredients to make it myself!

I was a ebay addict. I'd find things that had to do with my collection and I just couldn't resist it I'd buy them. Then later I'd kick myself for the amount I spent. But, oh how happy I was when the item came in. Good luck with your addiction! :)

Everyone knows that i'm an ebay fiend , so now my friends and family beg me to do their bidding for them . I agree because i don't care who I'm shopping for as long as I'm winning those bids .

Go to the big site , you will be amazed at the prices they are letting those mineral kits go for like bare essentials . I think for that particuliar thing goes for amazing prices . They have starter kits too .

I'm normal and I joined 7 months ago and have bought over 100 items. Nothing frvolous I need them all except all the plants but that included all my Christmas gifts. Oh goodness now I am trying to justify myself... guess I'm addicted alright.

I wish I needed all the things I purchased on Ebay , unfortunately I don't . I 'm starting to feel that I'm normal too . Everyone semms to have similiar ebay shopping habits . I did 265 items in 7 months . I don't think it's the most horrible addiction I could have .

I agree that people shouldn't be able to sell things that are broken , but there is a market out there for these items . What I do hate is when people describe things and the item you get is not as they described it . The whole process of getting a refund takes too long and it's usually not worth it because most listings say that refunds are given minus the shipping and handling . I want that back too .
