I have four auctions up right now on eBay and I Found myself last night trying to find more things to sell on eBay, combing through my closet to find things I wouldn't wear. I found about 2 more lots (auctions) worth of stuff. I usually just sell clothes and make a teensy tiny profit, not all that much though. But I found that I have literally just about ran out of stuff to put on eBay and I am rather addicted to putting things up on eBay! Especially since they are doing free listings this week or whatever. I guess it's better than being addicted to buying things off eBay... .
Are you addicted to eBay too?

I am not addicted to eBay, or rather, i am not addicted to anything. Maybe i haven't found the interest in something. Sometimes i find someone addicted to online games. I don't know why . After i play for a while .i am very tired physically and mentally.I admire those who can keep on doing without stopping and without any feeling of tire.

I think the addiction is more on the earnings you get from selling stuff on eBay. I have some friends who weren't successful in it and just stopped using eBay's facilities. I guess they weren't patient or anything. But I'm pretty sure if they had some sales, they'll also be addicted to the site. I myself like selling stuff on these buy-sell-auction sites, although I more often use a local site we have here in my country since it gives you an option to meet up with either the buyer or the seller. Besides, I'm not yet into expanding my "market" outside of my country

maezee ..I want to learn how to sell on e-bay. It just sounds like a fun hobby to earn a little money from what we no longer need or want or use. I also read about some who go to garage sales and flea markets and buy and resell on e-bay.
Hope often do they have free listings?? ...I really want to try this.

hi maezee!
i found it very addicted to have online shopping in ebay because almost all of the seller in ebay are good and easy to transact, sometimes i also put my stuff on ebay, i love having online shopping on ebay because it is worth it even the shipping fee is expensive :)

I am addicted to eBay in terms of looking at the jewelry that is for sale there. I love jewelry and have been buying jewelry as a form of investment ever since I started working. I haven't been able to sell anything though on eBay. I might try it but for now I rather like to browse through the items that are for sale on the site. It's like window shopping for me and I don't like the way some sales clerks seem to look down on you when you ask to look at an item and then not buy it.

I guess it would be possible to be addicting to anything if we are really drawn to it more and more. Even something as simple as simple as ebay could become addictive. It all depends on the rush we want from something and how much it consumes our lives to see tell if addiction has really set in or is just a passing fancy.

eBay is my first love. Even though I'm addicted to myLot now, I'm still very much attached to eBay. The bad thing is, now that I don't have much time to sell, I find myself browsing for something to buy. I used to just sell, sell, and sell all the time in eBay; and I do still have stuff in boxes waiting to be auctioned.

Yes, when I first learned to sell on Ebay, I kept on raiding my closet and picking some of my clothes that I barely wear. I sold some already but only for few peso. hehehehe But I enjoy it! I am thinking of raiding my closet again and starts selling my used clothes again. Good luck on your auction! ;-)
