I can't get over my addiction to Ebay...i impulse buy on things that have like a minute left so i bid some ridiculous amount on it and get excited when i win it and then when i get an email about the win i have another look at it and think.....ummm....i don't like it anymore or what was i thinking??

I sell stuff on Ebay for my dad's collectible business but have also found myself to be addicted to selling my own stuff and taking pics of things and selling them!!
I haven't sold anything i shouldn't or anything like that but i can't seem to get a hold of myself to stop looking at auctions that have like a minute or two left to go!!!

Michelle, I have just discovered TradeMe, which is NZ's version of Ebay, and I must say it is quite addictive!!! lol

My husband said yesterday "What the heck are all these parcels that keep arriving?" lol. I bet they are wondering at the post office too!!!! ;)

I dont wait till they are almost closing, I probably am at the opposite end as I am usually the FIRST one in with my bid!!! lol. I generally get outbid, but it's all good fun hey?

I just checked now, and I am top bidder on 10 items!! *gulp!* 4 of them are dogs beds!!! LMAO my little Maxie will have LOTS of comfy places to sleep!! :hug:

LMAO Tora....your puppy's gonna love you!!! I keep buying kids stuff like toys and there's this one Fisher Price Learning Puppy that i keep loosing on...there's a few up but i keep getting outbid on it!! I first saw them in a catalouge for Target and Kmart but were so popular that they sold out in the first day so i jumped on Ebay and found a few...i've been bidding and loosing each one for the past month now and Kmart and Target still don't have them in!! Grrrr....Its just made me more determined to get it!! LOL I hate Ebay!! LMAO

lol Michelle, good luck with the learning Puppy, you keep bidding, eventually you will get it. :D

I bid on kids stuff too, my Son is coming over for a holiday with his girlfriend and her 14mnth old baby, so I needed to get some warmer clothes for the baby. I got 6 BRAND NEW jumpers and a pair of trousers for $20. which I thought was a bargain! Also, won a bid for a new dressing gown but haven't got that yet. I got that for $1.! lol Kids clothing seems to be so cheap on it doesn't it?

I also got a "Da Bird" toy for my cat when she gets here from Oz. :-)

Oh, and I bid on a Harry Potter biscuit tin!! LMAO Don't ask why, but I did. lol.

Just checked and yep, still leading the bid on all 4 dog beds! :help:

Melissa, I bid on Creative Memories stuff too, but thats a little more expensive here in NZ than I could get it for on EBay in Oz. Doesn't stop me though!! LMAO

hehehe, Tora. I find that if the price gets to around what I'd pay retail, I buy off my consultant, otherwise, I don't ;)
