I have been limiting my ebay habit because it could easily get out of control. But the rush. The RUSH of a good deal! I went on idly yesterday looking for a gift for my auntie's birthday & found the perfect thing, it was a SUPER low-ball "get your attention" price. I tested the waters, realized I was up against a couple nibblers. I wanted it. I came, I saw, I sniped. I got a $150 MSRP item for $52 including S&H. I also got a $95 MSRP item from the same seller for $38. I LOVE YOU, eBay!

QUOTE(lananans @ Apr 23 2009, 01:35 PM)  You can get a mod card and download games for it, so it can actually be quite cost efficient as well! What! I did not know this, but thanks for telling me! I am SOOO going to get into this. |

I hope it's turned out well for you Lananans, I know that can all be such a pain.
My closet is bursting at the seams so I've listed a lot of new never worn dresses and I'll be adding things over the next few days. I'll probably be listing comics and old issues of Bust and Bitch in the next few weeks as well. My stuff is here ---> Corner Market I have a bunch of collectable kitchy stuff, but I haven't decided what to do with it.

Lananans it could be a customs thing, but if you haven't got it yet I think you should start an "Item not received" claim through Paypal - i think the deadline to do that is 45 days? I'm not sure. When the item arrives you can stop the claim, or if you get a refund and then it arrives you can pay the seller again through Paypal. I'd start a claim and explain to the seller that you just don't want to miss the deadline for doing that.

Do it foryoursplendor! I got one for Valentine's Day from my bf and it's awesome. I play it all the time. You can get a mod card and download games for it, so it can actually be quite cost efficient as well!
Now I have an ebay problem. I bought a pair of jeans on March 20th and still haven't received them! The seller sent me a message saying they were shipped, but that was at the beginning of April and I still haven't received them. I just sent her a message asking if there is a tracking number, because I'm worried they might have gotten lost. It's very frustrating! |

eeeek~ I just spent an ungodly amount on an antique Coke machine. One like this, the v-81A. It's in pretty pristine condition too.
I'm calling it an investment. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.  (I'm actually thrilled, because when I was a kid my parents had a little store and we had one of these machines...us kids drew straws for it and I lost to my republican brother) -------------------- To block Steve's latest incarnation, Click Here.

Encasing things in bubble wrap like woah is pretty much my ebay shipping philosophy.
...I sold my external hard drive! Sixty more dollars for me, woohoo! |

I just bought a pair of jeans on Ebay - they're the same design as this one pair that my mother has, but I can't find in the store anymore. Must be last season or something, but I should have them soon!
I'm thinking I'm going to put a couple things up on Ebay today. I sold my old iPod last week, and made $90! I got a blackberry with a good music player, so just didn't need it anymore. I like the watches I see on ebay - I'm just afraid that they won't fit once I get them - I have thick wrists, unfortch. vixen - did that item ship okay? |

i bought one of theeese eyeshadow sets because this youtuber (panacea81) always raves on about them and when she uses it the effects are always really great and bold. i'm sceptical. i've bought unbranded makeup before when money's been tight/got bored in the supermarket, and its always abit poop. like the colours are all wishywashy then you step out in a slight breeze and whoosh, no more eyeshadow. this probably shoulda gone in the beautiful thread...
i also bought a dress that i was totally in loveee with. id seen it in a shop but they didnt have my size left so i was overjoyed when i found a brand-new, my-sized, cut-priced one on ebay. then it got 'lost in the post' (that old chesnut). gutted. got a refund but i still woulda preferred my dress:( i also bought this geeky/granny-esque page magnifier haha. for like a couple of ££. gawd knows how much that is in $$ nowadays:/. i have to do lots of reading/studying and it's not kind on my poor eyes. especially when they give out photocopies and print 2 pages on 1 to save trees and whatnot. not a very exciting purchase, but practical none-the-less. theres a lovely vintagey dress im waiting to bid on too. i would post a link but i dont want anyone to steal it from me  i get ebay rage |

I LOVE eBay. It's the first place I go to if there's a DVD or a book I want. It and Half.com. lovelovelove.
But I do hate it when I leave a positive FB for a seller, and s/he doesn't have the common courtesy to do the same for me. It's happened a few times now. I just don't get it, nobody's so busy that they can't stop and give some FB. I haven't bid on any auctions or BINs lately, but I think I'm due for a new tube of Ganache lip balm. -------------------- Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are serviley crouched.
