MoneySaver Forum

I love to shop on eBay - I get so many cool, cheap shoes from there - it's way too addictive though so to tame my love of bidding I often search for boutique shops online. It keeps me in check.

I never understood eBay. I always seem to look out for the buy it now! deals.. which are a copout, I don't have to bid at all~

BAZZAGaz, you obviously don't get the adrenalin rush...I bought some classic 80s Courrege sunglasses for ten bucks last year. Still get dizzy & drool when I think of them.

I love eBay - I have a feedback score of 360 and my best bargain ever was a global wall map which the seller just sent to me without checking if I had paid first and then left positive feedback, so I got it for free. I feel guilty... not! They never followed up so meh...

ebay is a bit overrated these days - i have heard so many dodgy stories, like my friend bought tyres on ebay put them on his car... and wellah! they broke and split... got his money back thank god... dodgy!

I'm a bit the same, I find that there's just too much STUFF to sort through on ebay! I prefer to pick and choose my online shops. Less choice does not always mean lower quality. Etsy.com has some great vintage stores and you don't have to compete with other buyers who bid you out of your price zone, you just pick what you want and buy it.

I love ebay! you can buy anything on there. I've bought clothes, shoes, flea treatment for my dog, and lots of wedding stuff, even invitations so much cheaper than anywhere else.
