i have to say that i am guilty of doing this, but fortunately, the items were under $5.00 so the bite is not too bad and the stuff i can use for Christmas presents too. Have you every bought anything on impulse from ebay? what did you get? did you regret your purchase?

Yea, same here. I bid on jeans a lot. I have my favorites and sometimes if I see a pair for a good price, I bid. Like you my paypal account is a little depleted right so I have to stop for now. I do wear what I win, so I don't feel it is wasted.

Thankfully I use the money from Mylot from my paypall account. I have to watch items for about a month, so I often talk myself out of it. Seldom is it an impulse buy

Oh my goodness I love Ebay!! I usually buy all my jeans on there and now that I'm pregnant I'm trying to get prego clothes on there too!! I guess the only thing I buy impulsively on there is make-up!! I bought a bunch from this lady selling Avon stuff and it was all stuff I didn't need but it was cheap and I had fun experimenting with all the different colors and types of makeup =)

Yes I bought items on ebay by impulse. I got a stuffed animal. I did not regret my purchase. I like to collect stuffed animals and use them in movies.

I have to say that all the items I bought out of ebay are from impulsive buying . I've just started using this site about a few weeks ago and I begin to love it. I can buy cheap items there, with free shipping LOL. Well, My first item was a makeup bag, it cost about AU$ 7.99 with free shipping. The picture look very nice, but when I got the item, it's not that good LOL.

I did one time and didn't regret the purchase. Bought a butterfly sconce that is on the wall in the computer room. It was easy and shipment was made on time as promised. Was a good experience and I would definitely do it again.

I have never purchase anything from ebay. That is a good idea to keep items purchased but not in need for other purposes like christmas presents. When I go out shopping I usually end up buying things that I regret buying. I just pass it down to my nieces or anyone who like it.

I have had a few impulse buys where it has cost me a bit because I wanted an item from a lot of items that it came in. Anyway it made my little one happy so It was worth it to me.

I haven't regretted any of my purchases from E-Bay. I do have a hubby that reminds me to behave. lol luckily, i have avoided shipping by picking up locally a few times!
