Is anyone else completely addicted to eBay?

I've probably spent $200 over the last 5 days. It's good, because you can shop at any time of the day and try and grab some bargains (MOOKS JEANS FOR $9!!)...

But at the same time, it's bad because you worry about fakes, dodgy people who'll take your money and wont send you anything.

But still... I'm addicted. Even to look up dumb items.

144 condoms for $1! haha

yeah the main reason i don't buy from ebay is because i'm worried about fakes and if you don't actually get what you bought.
how often does that happen? has it happened to you?

Nah... but I got an awesome Uni bag for $13!!

Generally if the feedback for the person's good (lets say above 90% positive, with more than 100 items sold) then you're pretty much gonna get what you want.

If the seller has a refund policy, then yeah. You get your money back (minus postage) or if its a supplier they'll send you a bigger one or something.

But if the the seller miraculously disappears... then bad luck i guess...

I know what you mean about trying it on... but stuff like Ralph Polos... You can try it on in the shop so you know what size and colour you want... but when it comes to buying it... $20.50 on eBay or pay $99.95 in the shop... It seems stupid to waste 70 bucks...

that is a really good idea.
i so want a pair of Tsubi jeans, or Seven Sins or Sass and Bide, but i dont have the money to go to the shop and buy them.
im such a brand whore, but i heard them jeans fit really well.

if you're going to get s&b's, remember they stretch quite a bit. and i've heard some tsubis do as well...

The rule of tsubis is that you need to buy a size down... you need to basically JUST be able to (or just not be able to) do the button... cause they give alot later on!
