I'm sure everyone here has been on ebay at least once in their life. Recently I decided to do all my clothes shopping on ebay, simply because stores are waaay to expensive for me, and really don't carry anything I like.
Anyway, I was hoping people would share some cute/cool/awesome things they found. Like this
I do ALL my clothes shopping on Ebay, because I am dirt poor. So if I can buy something that cost £50, for £2.50 + postage, then I'm gonna!
I have bought loads of stuff from Ebay in the 2 years since I signed up on there. Not just clothes, I get household things too, and jewellery making stuff, and make up and skin care; you name it, I'll but it on Ebay if the price is good and the postage doesn't make it not worth buying.
I think the most expensive thing that I've bought was a vintage typesetters cabinet, to put all the beads and findings that I buy in That was over £100, but that's a normal price for one of those.
My only little bitch is, that NOW I get Nectar points for shopping on ebay, why couldn't that have been put in place two years ago :c
I got a Cath Kidston quilt cover; brand new, still in the original packaging and tied up with Cath Kidston ribbon, the way it would have been sold. That cover retailed for £75 new, I got it for £44 on Ebay
It's a great resource for rediculously cute Korean anything, too. Things that you just wouldn't see otherwise. Check out Tony Moly items, and you'll see what I mean
I don't use E-bay mainly because I refuse to use Paypal because of issues I had with the bank that runs Paypal. I don't trust them with my money. I use thrift stores or flea markets instead.
I really just started using it this summer; I always knew about eBay and would occasionally search for older CDs on there, but I started shopping for clothing on the site this summer.
I'm kind of obsessed with buying corsets on there now; I've bought four of them so far.
I've done some ebay shopping, but my experience is that it never ends up cheap enough that I wouldn't just be better off going to Goodwill. But that changes when someone offers their stuff with free shipping. Usually that's the overseas manufacturers, though, rather than something used that an average person is selling off. So generally I just stick to local resale shops, but browsing ebay occasionally is fun. I've gotten some really nice stuff from there. My favorites would be these little brass owls.
Though when I signed into my account, I found this on my watchlist. I'm pretty sure I have to buy it.

LOL hunny that was hilarious. I just checked the link and I literally almost fell out of the chair. I wonder who would be able to afford or even bid that?
I don't think I've ever bought something on eBay, but I want to buy some accessories for a cosplay now :3
Even though one of them costs 300$ orz (it was a limited edition that originally costed 5$ ;3; I sooo want it) so I guess that's cut off the list XDD
I wish I had my own money to spend, and my permission to spend it would me enough OTL having to rely on my parents to allow me to do stuff sure sucks.
Oh my god, those Tony Moly skin apples are the cutest things I've ever seen. And make you not get pimples. I mean how can you lose?! I buy books on ebay and half.com all the time. That and this $2 book store are the only reason I can afford a collection ;)
I once found an Imaginary Friend in a jar on ebay once. He was FREE! My mom wouldn't let me get him. At the time, I was too young to have my own account. I was so mad lol
