Question Who DOESN'T Use E-Bay?

And who doesn't give a tit what happens!!

Am I alone or has everyone gone completely barmy??

Pay-Pal this, Rip-Off that, Seller hasn't sent, Buyer hasn't paid, Monopoly this, Scam there .............................

If its so **** DON'T USE IT!!!!

Or, is it addictive?

Pete

The only time I tried to buy something - on behalf of the gf - I got bid sniped. The last bid was 7 seconds before the auction closed. The whole thing is a waste of time unless you use bid snipers and are prepared to get ripped off every now and then.

Good grief, I've just agreed with pissy pants lewis! I need to lie down...

Those who agree with Píssy obviously fail to see the business benefits of eBay.
Fairly obscure products from companies in fairly obscure parts of the country/world have a fantastic opportunity to sell their goods in vast numbers, and they do.

The non-users appear a little left out that they aren't making wads like some are, me thinks, causing themselves to be a little misguided with their pretend aggression.

I can understand someone not agreeing or liking something they've tried/used but when they haven't, well, that's very UK'ist indeed.

The only thing that gripes me is the bid sniping programs. They should find a way to block them.
