I buy in spurts. Only had one bad expierence. Lady took 3 months to ship the item then left me bad feedback. :o

Mostly get clothes, perfume (aeromatics elixir) lots cheaper than buying from the store. A woman at work got me started and it's nice to find a bargain once in a while. Just have to be careful and do your homework before you big.

We just recently had to start a new acct, but we have used eBay off and on since about 2000, both as buyer and seller, although mostly for selling.

For the most part, right now, the main things we have been buying are for us to ship the items we sell (digital scales, bubble wrap, etc)

Yep, love eBay! :yes:

I use them mainly to buy supplies for the jewelry I make. I prefer to use eBay stores because those products are brand spanking new.

If you are looking for it...I swear you'll find it on eBay! hehehe And PayPal makes it easy peazy! :thumbs:

eBay RAWKS!

I usually buy bits and pieces for musical instruments; mouthpieces, pad sets, ligatures, reeds... Things I can pick up a little cheaper but are also hard to find without going down to Boston.

Make sure you're wearing clean knickers. You never know when you'll be run over by a bus.

I've been buying and selling on Ebay for about 3 years. Never been ripped off once either. I think it's a fab place but always check online elsewhere before you think you're getting a bargain. It's not always so!

Our wedding rings came from ebay. So did my dress and shoes.

Recently, my grandmothers home was burglarized (house was vacant) and among what was stolen was the one thing I wanted to remind me of my grandmother - a pair of figurines. I was able to locate another pair on Ebay and I bought those. Of course they aren't the ones that Nana had, but I still kind of wanted them as a touch of her style in our home.
