Ebay scouring.
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!!!

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

anyway enjoy your toast

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.

porn & ebay...
