Do you ebay?
How many of us buy, sell, or just browse ebay regularly?
I do some selling (100% customer satisfaction rating) and for adding to my anique cameo collection, no where is better for shopping...husband alwasys seems to get burnt or jerked around every time he buys there, but I've had nothing but good experiences myself.
I also use it a reference source for getting more info on collectables and antiques.

Re: Do you ebay?
I used ebay for the first time, a month ago or so, bought some whole food suplements, saved about 40% from my original supplyer cost they even sent me a phone number to get more at the same bid so I could go directly to them instead of ebay, I thought that was unussual, the only other thing that I was sceptical about was that PayPal thing which I did use, but it seemed like ebay tries to lesd you into getting there credit card company in lou of the PayPal.

What do you shop for, shy?
When I can afford it, which isn't often, I do searches for "hand carved shell antique cameo" and browse for hours, and someday, someday dammit..I'm gonna buy me a few vibrant gorgeous pieces of Blenko art glass!
Isn't it a rush, to be bidding on something down to the wire and win it?

Re: Do you ebay?
I don't use it much. Look often though. For truck parts [who'd a thought] and look at different cars too.
I sold my semi=trailer thru them.

Knew somebody that tried to do that too, with the same result! Gawd, just can't remember the name for that practice, but they sure do frown on it!

Re: Do you ebay?
Its called running it up. I am quite familiar with this practice as a competitor of mine would have people in the crowd bidding on his cars to get the price up. Sometimes it works. Some auction companies like it, some don't. I ebay all the time, mostly buy.

Re: Do you ebay?
I'm in there regularly. Have bought every thing from clothes to motorcycle parts to a digital camera. You still have to watch the prices, sometimes I can get the same thing locally, for the same price and with out the shipping costs.

Ahhhh Pepper! It's just so nice that someone else even knows what Blenko art glass is! Most art glass people are Fenton collectors.
Fenton art glass is pretty kick ass too.

I am always browsing ebay. If I see something I like, I'll wait until the last few minutes to see how high the bidding is. At that time, I decide how badly I want that item. I very rarely buy anything that is not payable with PAYPAL. I was screwed a few times before PAYPAL, so I learned my lesson. I have had to return a few items that weren't as advertised and with PAYPAL, I always was either reimbursed or the item was replaced, no questions asked.
I currently have a few things from my BMW 740iL for sale on ebay, such as an owners manual, a navigation system manual and a couple of cd changer magazines.

Re: Do you ebay?
Got carried away last week and bid on four seperate laptops. Figuring that I would get overbidded on them all, I could at least get one of the four. Damn, if ebay didn't pull a fast one on me. I now have four different laptops arriving sometime this week and next. What in the heck am I going to do with four laptops (30$ - 80$)... Good thing I'm in school. I can unload them pretty easily...I hope...

Re: Do you ebay?
Oh, I did get something of useful nature for the computer geek, a "BLACK BOOT CD". This CD will fix any problem with the computer like if it crashes. Simply insert it and follow the instructions. It's basically the same one the computer repair people use except you don't have to pay their labor cost. It's also got hundreds of programs that are offered and updates to things like; virus protection, changing over existing operation systems, firewall stuff, etc,... Good investment for 26$...
