Bear Teapot

I had been watching closely this Buy-It-Now auction for days until someone decided to snatch the title of "owner" from me. I should have gotten it before...

eBay

on the bad note i currently owe eBay more than i have in my checking account, even thought i have already paid for some items this week. i guess i might have to ask mother for money & she probably going to say how addicted to eBay & irresponsible i am. I have a serious obsession for vintage kitchenware, don't ask my why.
p.s does anyone beside my mom read my eBay blog, i feel i have a no audience.

Orla Kiely Dressing & Obsessing

One of the reasons why I love eBay is... because I can get items that sold out in store or items I missed out on. Last January I saw the very sought after eBay Anthropologie Orla Kiely dress on sale for $100. I really regret missing out on it because its selling on eBay for almost $200 even if its in used condition. I have gotten outbidded on several occasions... : (

ARRG, OUTBIDDED AGAIN

I lost this item, its a new with tags vintage gold metallic dress. A RARE FIND.

So it hasnt been my best week on eBay. I am bidding on items and yet I have no money. But the thing i cannot stand the most is being outbidded.

RECENT OUTBID ITEMS:

A VERY SOUGHT AFTER NIGHT GOWN SOLD FOR MORE THAN $100.

THIS SOLD FOR ONLY $34, VERY CHEAP FOR WHAT THESE VINTAGE PRINT DRESS REALLY SELL FOR. I FORGOT TO SIGN IN MINUTES BEFORE....

10 REASONS WHY I HATE EBAY

1. BIDDING WARS
2. MEAN SELLERS/BUYERS
3. NOT WINNING ITEM
4. SELLERS/BUYERS NOT LEAVING FEEDBACK
5. INADEQUATE DESCRIPTIONS
6. DELAYED SHIPPING
7. NOT PLACING BID ON TIME
8. ITEMS SELLING HIGH
9. RESERVE PRICES
10. ADDICTION

IN THE LAND OF GIANTS

In the land of giants everything is smaller

OK, I admit it! Sometimes I don't read the measurements or even acknowledge them on the listings. I more of a visual person. But that doesn't justify sellers to take advantage of this. Yesterday I received this pirate picture holder from eBay. All I remember reading from listing was "CUTE PIRATE PICTURE HOLDER", so I thought "it must be big enough for an actual picture." The seller sent a quite big of the box for a 2 inch tall pirate-that I figured out by going back and reading listing. This also happen to me when I bought an 8 inch ugly doll for $20 when I could of bought a much taller & uglier doll in a store for about the same price. So I figured the trick sellers use to allure visual buyers "USING BIGGER PICTURES MAKES THE ACTUAL ITEM SEEM BIGGER THAN IT REALLY IS." Really its a no brainer!

Blushing Apples Gets an Apple ibook

I have always love apple computers, just the word "apple" by itself sounds cute. They remind me of the computers my school used to have. Well last week i received this apple ibook blueberry Clamshell laptop that i won on eBay after several outbids for more than $200. It turned out that the computer DID NOT turn on, calmly i contacted the seller because apparently the ac adapter didn't work, he was kind enough to send another one that just arrived today. But before I received it i was tempted to buy one which i did -IT COST ME $40. I plugged it to the computer and it did turn on, but when it was disconnected from the ac adapter it wouldn't turn on--TRANSLATION--THE BATTERY IS DEAD! I need to purchase another one soon. Unfortunately the seller did not guaranteed the life of the battery. Another problem i encounter is that the Cd case wont open easily.

I HATE EBAY
