Okay, lets face it, How many of you are addicted to buying on ebay? I'll be the first to admit that I am. For starters, I'm a lady, we love to shop and besides, Ebay has a lot of great thing for a reasonable price. You can find anything on ebay. I like to buy books and lipgloss from ebay since thay are cheaper their, and besides, I love reading and collecting lipgloss. From time to time I sell a few things also, but the money I make goes right back to ebay. How many of you are addicted to ebay?

I often go on ebay, sometimes just to browse for things I collect, others to buy presents for friends and that. However I wouldn't say I'm addicted, I'm not on there all the time buying any old crap that I don't actually have money to buy in the first place or out like that. I can see why people like it - for cheapness and I can see why some get addicted but personally, I don't.

Oh yea, I guess you could say I am an addict with alittel bit of control. I both sell and buy on ebay and I love it all. I do have issues with some things but I choose to stick around anyways. I know many people complain about the fees but they are worht it to me because I would have to spend way more to get a million visitors to my own site. I am actually using my MyLot earnings to start a collection, that I am buyin from eBay. I just love it.

Well I used to be addicted to Ebay...then a friend tuned me into mylot. I went from signing into ebay every day to once a week. It just makes more sense to earn money rather than spend it LOL....these ebay banners that mylot shows are tempting though ! I guess you could say I'm a recovering addict!! LOL

I have only ever bought one thing on ebay. It was a book I was looking for.
I am more of a seller. Though I have not been there for a while, when I was on ebay, it was to sell not buy.
I got fed up with it being more of a buyers market. All people do is brag about how cheap they got something. I don't see where that helps the seller.

Oh yeah. I have been an ebay addict since ebay's conception ! I used to sell on there but have stopped. But boy I still buy! My husband is a sports finatic for a particular team. That team is the arch rival for a team that is popular where we live. Needless to say that t-shirts, hats etc aren't found here for the team he prefers. I head to ebay constantly for his gifts! We even bought a pool table on ebay!

Hi all,
I'm a powerseller on ebay. I became one because I was addicted to ebay & had to pay for it some how. So I thought... if I'm going to spend so much time on ebay I might as well be making money while I am doing it.
Speaking of spending so much time...

Hello,
I am an EBay addict. I'm just a buyer, I never sold anything. I'm a Mickey Mouse collectionist, so I often buy comics to complete my own collection.

I am not sure that I would consider myself an addict, but I do rely on it from time to time for a little extra pocket money. It is a wonderful site and very user friendly. At the holidays, I like to buy those gifts that are hard to find especially since I live in a smaller area !

wwell even i have now become an addict of the site...i am new to ebay but within a very smll time I have put on a heavy burden on my credit card and I did not rea;ise it then....but I do realsie it now!! and whyt shouldn't I? Afterall it is me only who actually has to pay -- so by now I have stopped myself from going on to that particular site..... I go there when I am seriosuly looking for something.... simple///
otherwise I don't even think of the site./... coz i have realised it is one type of addiction that would rather spoil my habit of saving money--- but still I love the site a lot

Yes I admit it, I am an eBay addict. I have been a member for three years both as a buyer and as a seller and can honestly say I have had some wonderful bargains from eBay and also managed to sell off a lot of surplus *stuff* too.

I bought a BMW M3 off of ebay from a town 2 hours from my home. It was perfect and the car is so amazing! I would have never found it if not for ebay! however, I have been screwed over by using ebay, so it's really required to do your research.
