I was snuggled in bed with my puppy <3 when my dad walked out the front door and said "ooh present for aimee!" and I knew what it was so I ran out of bed and got my parcel, and ripped it open...
a beautiful, new, shiney, packaged perfectly, wonderful....
textbook.
BUT. It was less than HALF the price from my uni bookstore and it is completely new, even creaked with new-ness as I opened it and I am SO excited. God I love shopping and love getting great bargains.
Hooray for my first ebay purchase being a giant success!
Ebay is ok if buyers are careful (if it's too good to be true it probably is). I only use PayPal because they handle disputes (and they did for me once).
Good for you. welcome to the wonderful world of ebuying.
Careful, it can be addictive. my loft has several boxes of stuff I thought were a great purchase at the time but when it arrived i was like WTF was I thinking!

I'd love one day to sell stuff. You know. To actually GET money as opposed to fritter it away on the internet. & Jack; thanks for that, I've signed up to paypal now.
Or at least I think I have, mygod, ebay is confusing!
Im finished with ebay ,i sent 15 sterling for a cardigan and the seller said I never sent it.But oh yes I bloody did.I now have neither the money nor the cardigan and I have a warning on my ebay account.bastards
It became like a sort of prison. Encased in a silver shell, words so full of bleeding need spilled like drops on dry leaves. And all the while laughter prevailed a long way from here. Nowhere land, nowhere time, nowhere space.
I probably won't use it "all that much" but I do happen to love shopping >_> but I also happen to not trust the internet shopping all that much.
Checking seller feedback is something I can do *grins proudly*
Be careful of seller feedback since ebay accounts get hijacked. Look at the most recent feedback and make sue it's current. People from places like Romania and China hijack accounts to make it look like they are in Uk or AUS.
If a sale got good feedback in a few recent days your better off than if the last feedback was a month ago.
Aimee if you use paypal then you are secure! (Just be careful clicking links from paypal emails as some of them can be hoaxes) as they cover you and can refund money and such if your item does not reach you.
Im kinda hooked on tshirt transfers at the mo lol. (I ordered 2 toy story 3 ones!!) My post man hates me.
oh and if you do sell, only host free pictures with ebay as they charge you for extra ones. Just stick all your others on photobucket then html code them into the selling box.
