Shit, how much time do i waste on Ebay. Right, anyone else do this- i look for summat (that i usually don't want/need) then i find it- then i look at the seller. Check all their feedback (always morbidly curious about neg/neutral- i love reading bad comments), then if someone leaves neg, i then check out other items they have bought, feedback blah blah- before i know i am like 10 people down the ebay chain of someone who was selling a frigging second hand bag that i dont even really want!. Why the fuck do i care about these strangers lol. Why oh why get so involved. Before i know it hours have passed and i have spent the time looking at random shit that i will never even think about again.

Also, sometimes i go one to look for something specif, that i really need like some wierd face wash- and the search results remind of summat else, so i look at that- low and behold before i know it i have somehow managed to be having a sken at cat scratching posts thus checking out feedback and so the cycle continues. It really is mental.

Right now i am sweating on 27 items that i couldn't give a rats arse about really- just cus they might be cheap, and all found by accident.

Amelie - i do the same thing on ebay (glad its not just me then, lol)

I have done a search before now, and then when i am checking out feedback i end up looking to see what they bought and.......it spirals on - then like you say you end up god knows where down the line and looking at something which 2 hours earlier you didnt know existed but now have to have!!!:S

The number of items ive stuck on my watch list doing this...........:$ (and the stuff ive bought)
found some good ebay shops though for bags/perfumes and makeups and stuff this way though.

I have bought some good stuff in the past of ebay though - luckily no tat so far lol as im not that mad, lol

A lot of it depends on the stuff yer buyin.

Like vinyl & stuff, is normally only collected/sold by peeps who really care about it & are interested in it, so they're less inclined to skank folks with similar interests...

I've used eBay a bit for hard-to-find car stuff... Similar thing... ppl into old cars tend to care about them & so are less likely to scam other enthusiasts.

I'm with ya tho Amelie... ebay curiosity's a great way to kill off an afternoon.

Can't help thinking there's a f00kin fortune waiting for the person who manages to successfully merge the internet's two biggest phenomena...
porn & ebay...
